I really don't see why you speak in such a bad way of H. Ford, that sounds so much like the same kind of complaints people did throughout the US to destroy Columbus Statues etc. Of course nowadays a behaviour such as Ford's would be unconceivable but those were different times.
It's a bit as if we'd just mock Aristotle for believing and teaching that the Sun went round the Earth. He was a son of its time, the only thing we can do is appreciating how he managed to change his environment an bring innovation.
I don't think you had the same criticism when it came to describe other cultures hadn't you? Aren't all cultures equal? I like Crash Course because it's ironic, but you really miss the point when these things happen in your show.

Great way to put a modern spin on a historical character, and I am not complimenting modern values. Ford decides to offer a huge wage to workers, and he has such a huge response that he knows he can ask more of the workers than just doing a good job in the factory. The workers did not have to apply for the job, they went out of their way to apply, and they seriously wanted that $5. 00 a day. To hear this video you would think that people were being forced to do those things. There is no doubt that Ford was a flawed man, but asking employees to be decent people outside of work is actually something that many employers require right now.

Well ford did not invent it in the first place the first inventers of mass production was Carthageans, to build ship and resuplly their armada with them why they are not mentioned anywhere?
Also maybe mentioning Toyota (the biggest and most powerful car enterprize of today) about how they perfected ford line manufactoring by letting the workers to stop the line to inspect any anomaly before that anomaly produce mass scale malfunction in the produced cars to diminish manufactoring defections and waste of materials and maximizing effiency of the production and giving the workers more room to selfimprovement and belonging to the company.

The first Industrial Revolution said that it was ramped up around 1800. It started in Britain ran on steam, trains, and factories and led more to discoveries a lot by the scientist inventors, Volta, Faraday, and Maxwell. While the second Industrial Revolution resulted from the industrialization of electricity and mass manufactoring. It happened around 1900, started in the United States, and ran on electricityran, cars, and communication technologies. As well as it will become more new in terms of raw materials, foods, goods, and other technologies that are invented.

Electricity became the lifeblood of emerging CORPORATIONS. The problem we have with cars' emission now is having a parallel problem regarding horse poop in the past. The Racal vehicles in my place now looks like the inverted quadri-cycle with a roofing. But the emergence of an automobile has changed the landscape of WORK both on the side of the owners and of the workers.

Ford was, by today's standards, a bad person with horrible social views, but let's not forget that he is the man who brought us the economy of scale we enjoy today. He really revolutionized production and management so much so that I whould credit him and his ideas with bringing so much material wealth to billions around the world. And in the end that is his legacy.

As a resident of Michigan, particularly the Metro Detroit area, I can confirm that Greenfield Village and The Henry Ford Museum are amazing places to visit. You need multiple days to see either. Unfortunately, much like many other influential leaders, his legacy is tarnished by his racism and classism.

Greenfield Village is amazing and wonderful and teaches kids and adults a lot of stuff. You shut the hell up. XD
But seriously. Such a wonderful place. I have so many good memories there. That place defines my childhood. It's like our Disney Land.

Hey thanks for not mentioning Ford's best hit -The International Jew- and how he forced every ford dealership to carry copies of it. Wouldn't want to show how concrete his beliefs were and how he abused his power after all we're just here for the science.

Computers don't cause industrial revolutions (not yet anyway. Only revolutions of convenience and information. Industry has to do with production.
