Henry Ford on Rural Life

[Guest guest]

From Henry Ford's My Life & Work:

 

"If we live in smaller communities where the tension of living is not

so high, and where the products of fields and gardens can be had

without the interfernce of so many profiteers, there will be little

poverty or unrest" [p.88]

 

"If a man is in constant fear of the industrial situation, he ought to

change his life so as not to be dependent upon it. There is always the

land, and fewer people are on the land now than ever before. If a man

lives in fear of an employer's favour changing towards him, he ought

to extricate himself from dependence on any employer. He can become

his own boss". [p.320]
