"A business that makes only money is an unhealthy business." - Henry Ford A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential statistics, but how a lot of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get swept up to speed on the lives of America's most significant men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long ignored or never known. Few Us citizens have a reputation and legacy anything like Henry Ford's, the man whose name is still associated with one of the world's most well-known car companies. Ford is unquestionably one of is own country's most well-known industrialists, and his use of any assembly range to mass produce cars was not only innovative but also managed to get possible for Us citizens to own vehicles en masse.

Cars would never be a luxury item only for the wealthy again. Although Ford's use of any assembly line recommended human labor was not as necessary as it could in any other case be, he became known for advocating on behalf of labor rights, including offering an unprecedented $5 workday (the equivalent of $120 today), which doubled how much his workers were previously making and helped ensure his company would be both popular and a vacation spot for workers.
