My Life and Work - Autobiography - Paperback
$38.61
by Ford Henry Ford (Author), Henry Ford (Author)
My Life and Work is the 1922 autobiography and business statement of Henry Ford (1863–1947), founder of the Ford Motor Company and owner of the weekly newspaper The Dearborn Independent. Written with Samuel Crowther, it was first published by Doubleday, Page & Company and became one of the most widely read accounts of American industry in the early twentieth century.
The book traces Ford’s path from a Michigan farm boy and self-taught mechanic to the builder of the Model T and the moving assembly line. It sets out his ideas on mass production, the five-dollar day, vertical integration, waste, and the belief that industry should serve the public by making useful goods cheaper and more plentiful. Ford also discusses his views on labor, finance, education, farming, and the role of the businessman, arguing that production, not speculation, is the proper foundation of prosperity.
Sovereign Archive Publishing is proud to offer this primary source from one of the defining figures of modern industry. My Life and Work remains essential reading for those studying the rise of mass production, early twentieth-century business thought, and the making of the American automobile age.
