Ford Henry Libri

Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) iniziò a lavorare a dodici anni come venditore di giornali. S'improvvisò poi chimico, telegrafista e infine inventore. Le sue invenzioni - circa 1500 brevetti - sono alla base del telefono, della macchina da scrivere, del fonografo, della lampada elettrica e del cinetoscopio. Quando Henry Ford - di sedici anni più giovane di lui - lo incontrò per la prima volta, Edison faceva già parte dell'immaginario collettivo degli americani. "Il mio amico Edison" fu pubblicato a New York nel 1930. Oggi questo libro è molto di più della testimonianza dell'incontro e dell'amicizia tra il pioniere dell'elettricità e l'inventore della vettura con motore a benzina. In queste pagine ci è dato cogliere allo stato sorgivo alcuni dei miti fondatori del nostro tempo. Le parole di sconfinata ammirazione di Ford per Edison sono rivelatrici della psicologia di una nazione (e di un'epoca) che considera tecnocrati, inventori e industriali padri spirituali della patria, profeti di una religione che fa coincidere benessere materiale e bene morale.

Padilla, Group Vice President, Ford North America. It also includes an enhanced selection of photos illustrating the processes and facilities Ford covers in the text. Taiichi Ohno acknowledged that a key stimulus to JIT was his close reading of this book. Today, these same ideas are re-emerging to revitalize American industry in new ways. "I, for one, am in awe of Ford's greatness. I believe Ford was a born rationalist -- and I feel more so every time I read his writings. He had a deliberate and scientific way of thinking about industry in America. For example, on the issues of standardization and the nature of waste in business, Ford's perception of things was orthodox and universal." ― Taiichi Ohno
