It must be said: Mr Ford created way more wealth in the world than what it destroyed.

For example, the Japanese discovered that importing Ford cars from Japan was cheaper that manufacturing those in Japan, including all the shipping cost.

The same happened in Russia, Germany and most places of the West world.

The new manufacturing method was a revolution that have generated trillions.

And now an authoritarian one-party country (I think it's decidedly sliding into a dictatorship) is winning car manufacturing - and possibly almost all of manufacturing except high-end semiconductors and optics.

The future is going to be interesting. :/
