Henry Ford didn't just build a car. He built the world we drive through, the suburb we live in, and the weekend we take for granted. He paid his workers more than anyone thought reasonable, and beat them when they tried to organize. He gave ordinary Americans freedom of movement and gave Nazi Germany a hero to admire.
In this episode, we sit with one of the most consequential and troubling Americans who ever lived, and ask what it means that both things are equally true.
Join us every Monday for episodes and discussions, and Thursdays for pop quizzes and Sketches in History. We love hearing from you, so leave a comment below!
