He argues against preparedness for war (which apparently leads to war) and then goes on to say that capitalism is the greatest evil ever. He appears to think that the loan industry is all that capitalism is, for he distances himself from capitalism, saying he earns all he makes.
To make it even more interesting, he adds that he thinks charity is wrong because each individual may only keep what he earns.
I wonder whether he had to use a loan at some point to open his business…
It must be understood Henry Ford had a very deep-set contempt (some may say downright hate) for the banking/financial system. More than once during his lifetime he told whoever was willing to listen “If people really knew how our banking system works we would have a revolution. Not the next morning but right about now”. For “capitalist” Henry Ford meant “banker/financer” not “entrepreneur”. Always a very hard man to understand (not to say like), he always held some peculiar views. Some of these (for example his contempt for labor unions) still hold true to this day.
