“ It is not good management to take profits out of the workers or the buyers; make management produce the profits. Don’t cheapen the product. Don’t cheapen the wage. don’t overcharge the public. Well-managed business pays high wages and sells at low prices. Its workmen have the leisure to enjoy life and the wherewithal with which to finance that enjoyment.”

– Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company



Who is today’s Henry Ford?


You mean the Henry Ford who brought in often violent internal company police to prevent unionization? I imagine there are many modern examples if not to the same degree.


Or, the one awarded a cross by Hitler. I can’t tell when someone quotes Ford today, who might they think is today’s Henry Ford.
