Industrialists Quotes

“The journalist Walter Lippmann identified in Henry Ford, for all his peculiarity, a common strain of "primitive Americanism." The industrialist's conviction that he could make the world conform to his will was founded on a faith that success in economic matters should, by extension, allow capitalists to try their hands "with equal success" at "every other occupation." "Mr. Ford is neither a crank nor a freak," Lippmann insisted, but "merely the logical exponent of American prejudices about wealth and success.”

“The industrialist’s dream was to replace them entirely—with machines.”
― Douglas Rushkoff, Team Human

“The negro workers are still unaware of the force that can give them union organization; happy industrialists.”
― King Albert I of Belgium
