Henry Ford was a revolutionary industrialist, who transformed global society through affordable cars. He achieved this through technological innovation and the relentless pursuit of efficiency. He was the first automobile maker to implement the moving assembly line, which reduced the production time of the Model T from $12$ hours down to $90$ minutes. This allowed him to raise wages from $\$2.34$ for a $9$ hour work day to $\$5$ for an $8$ hour work day. All of this efficiency reduced the price of the car from $\$700$ to $\$350$, while also building a middle class who could afford to purchase the cars.
