My Life and Work
Henry Ford explains what he thought he was doing: the moving line, the five-dollar day, and a theory of business he was certain about.
Things worth knowing
- It was published as an autobiography but is closer to a statement of Ford's philosophy, and the journalist Samuel Crowther was the one who put the words on paper.
- The chapter titles include The Terror of the Machine, Money: Master or Servant?, and Why Be Poor?

Where this comes from
US public domain: first published 1922, before the 1930 cutoff. Written by Henry Ford (d.1947) in collaboration with Samuel Crowther (d.1947). The life+70 term runs from the LAST surviving author; both died in 1947, so the work is also clear in life+70 jurisdictions.
Cover image: Head-and-shoulders portrait of Henry Ford, 1919.
Narration: text-to-speech.
