Product details

Douglas Brinkley’s Wheels for the World is a sweeping history of Henry Ford, the Ford Motor Company, and their lasting impact on American society and global industry. The book traces the story from Ford’s early life and experiments with mechanics, through the founding of the Ford Motor Company in 1903, to the rise of the Model T, which revolutionized transportation and made the automobile affordable for the average family.

Brinkley highlights Ford’s introduction of the moving assembly line, which not only transformed automobile production but also set new standards for industrial efficiency worldwide. The book also explores Ford’s controversial personal views, paternalistic labor practices, and clashes with unions, showing the contradictions between his progressive wage policies and his resistance to organized labor.
