Henry Ford was an American industrialist, founder of the Ford Motor Company, and a pivotal figure in the development of modern industrial manufacturing techniques, including the moving assembly line. His innovations in mass production, the introduction of the Model T, and the institution of the $5 workday transformed the global economy, making automobiles affordable to the mass public. Ford's work laid the groundwork for modern consumer society by integrating efficiency into manufacturing and creating new standards for industrial labor.
