Synopsis

This is not only a great book about power, money, machinery, industry, production, consumption, improvements, ideas, and history. It is also a book that teaches - "one who fears failure, limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity more intelligently to begin again. There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail."

About this title

About the Author

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was an American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. Although Ford did not invent the automobile or the assembly line, he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle class Americans could afford. This is his story in his own words.

From the Inside Flap

Henry Ford's autobiography 'My Life and Work' is in fact a manual of business philosophy. The book describes how Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, introduced the assembly line, a minimum wage, the five-day work week, and reduced working hours at the beginning of the previous century.
