Henry Ford

Henry Ford (1863–1947) war ein US-amerikanischer Großindustrieller und Automobilpionier aus Dearborn bei Detroit. Er revolutionierte die industrielle Massenproduktion durch das Fließband, ist historisch jedoch auch wegen seines aggressiven Antisemitismus und des gewaltsamen Vorgehens gegen Gewerkschaften schwer belastet. In christlichen Kontexten begegnet er heute vor allem als säkulares Anschauungsbeispiel für Unternehmergeist und Beharrlichkeit, nicht als geistliche Vorbildfigur.
