Question

What are the two evils in the world according to ford, that must be abolished?

Answer 1

Henry Ford contended that poverty and privilege were the two evils that we must "abolish from the world". He said that poverty could be abolished by eliminating the causes of poverty. Likewise, privilege could be abolished by eliminating the causes of privilege.

Answer 2

In his Book "Fear of Change" (1922), Henry Ford made an open statement that the overall "fear of change" is what is hindering society's ability to further develop and thrive.

He mentions that there are two evils in the world:

1. Poverty: He states that it is eliminated not by eliminated the poor, but rather eliminating the causes of poverty, which are inequality and lack of opportunities for these populations. This is solved by improving the education and living conditions of the poor.
2. Privilege: He states that just as poverty, privilege is eliminated by eliminating its causes, which are the lack of involvement of the privileged people in the day to day work activities of their businesses. He states that "No man has been harmed for going into business"
