Update: 2025-07-02
Description
Henry Ford, China’s laws on wages and purchasing, and India’s jump from poverty to global economic dominance all have one key thing in common:
They’re case studies in how productivity, wages, and demand can pull an entire group of people from poverty to middle-class.
A country doing it is one thing. But one person? That’s a whole different ball game.
And the reason you can listen to this while driving your car on your way to work, gym, or your favourite restaurant, is because one man made an insane bet that everyone else was sure would fail.
And his bet changed the course of human history.
