About the authors

Henry Ford

1863–1947

Best known for transforming the automobile from a luxury item into something many families could afford, he became one of the most influential industrialists of the 20th century. His name is closely tied to the Model T, the moving assembly line, and a vision of mass production that reshaped everyday life.

Samuel Crowther

1880–1947

Known for turning big ideas from America’s industrial age into clear, readable books and magazine pieces, this journalist wrote widely about business, work, and modern life. He is especially remembered for collaborations with Henry Ford that helped bring industrial thinking to a mass audience.
