Was Henry Ford a Robber Barron or Captain of Industry?

# data[].attributes.body
Henry Ford can be considered a Captain of Industry. Henry Ford was unlike any other “Robber Baron,” and no others compare to him. Ford was self-made and an outstanding man. His creation of the Model T revolutionized the industrial world. His assembly line  did the same by allowing mass production throughout the industrial world. Also, he cared about others more than himself. Ford donated most of his money to charities such as the Susan G. Komen cure. Ford also established a hospital and left money for his son to establish a foundation, later known as the Ford Foundation. Fords reputation as a factory owner is outstanding as well. Ford treated his workers with the utmost respect, and he cared about them tremendously. Ford payed his workers a very high price and even hired the disabled because he felt everyone deserved a second chance. Henry Ford was solely for and a pioneer of mass production.

Sadly, Henry Ford’s wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This changed Fords life and motivated him to donate a large sum of his fortune to the cause. The Susan G. Komen Cure was what Ford donated to. Along with the Komen Cure, Ford left a very large sum of money for his son when he died. Ford raised his son to be good and give back. Growing up, Edsel Ford was always influenced to create a foundation “Fordson.”

Being the good man that he was, Henry Ford spent most of his money on charities. Henry Ford donated a large sum of money towards breast cancer research, or the Susan G. Komen Cure. The reason Ford donated so much was because his wife was diagnosed with Breast cancer, which was a large setback in his life. Along with his donations, Ford founded the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI. Ford worried less about himself, and spent his fortune on the well being of those around him.

Henry Ford payed his workers an unheard of amount of $5. At the time, $5 was a very large amount, bringing employees to middle-class status. Fords payment to his workers shows the respect he had for them. He easily could have overworked and underpaid them, but he was better than that. Ford hired workers that most bosses wouldn’t. The handicap and mentally disabled could be found in Fords workplaces. This is because Ford felt that everyone deserved a chance to better themselves. Ford also cared about his workers home life, in-fact he had a sociological department check up on his workers home life regularly. Also, Ford established the highest standards in company management.

From a very young age Ford enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together. Once Ford started working with steam engines he focused on creating a lighter engine. His business principles and ideas for mass production gave him a large advantage. Ford used his ideas to create the Model TT, the world’s first affordable car. The Model T became a dominant force in the industrial world and brought Ford his success.
