Discovery Channel's Greatest American # 24: Henry Ford
Nice to see plenty of businessmen in the running for Greatest American.
Henry Ford revolutionized work in America through his assembly line manufacturing techniques. Conservatives will note that Adam Smith's famous pin factory served as a model for Ford's approach.
Before Ford, automobiles were exotic and custom-made.
After Ford, America's love affair with the car began in earnest.
