About this ebook

Henry Ford was an engineer, businessman, founder of the Ford Motor Company, the largest company in the world at the time, and an extraordinary entrepreneur. Ford was the first entrepreneur to apply assembly line production, enabling the production of a large number of automobiles in less time and at a lower cost. Henry Ford's ideas revolutionized the thinking of the time and led to the mechanization of labor, mass production, and standardization of machinery and equipment.

In this autobiography, which is part of the Entrepreneurs collection, Ford describes his first encounter with automobiles and a bit of his history before founding the Ford Motor Company and how he worked to make it the largest company in the world. Henry Ford also presents his opinions on business, industry, mass production, wages and money, social concerns and charity, and how he applied the principles of the Ford Motor Company factories to a school, hospital, and railway.

"Henry Ford: My Life, My Work," an illustrated ebook with photos from the time, with a preface by our great writer Monteiro Lobato, is an extremely interesting and educational book for anyone wishing to learn about entrepreneur Henry Ford and his ideas, as well as the second industrial revolution in the words of someone who participated in its construction.
