Re: Our missing productivity was shifted to China
Ford is, despite his obvious business credentials, practically a Marxist in today's terms. He has written some very insightful opinions on exactly how the "free" market works, with particular vehemence for the bankers.
The more observant might notice the correlation between his dislike for bankers and his renowned anti-Semitism (and his infamous anti-Semitic publications entitled, "the International Jew") and draw conclusions as to why this was his opinion. He may have been 'virtually a Marxist' in some respects, but in others he was far closer to being a fascist.
It probably tells us something about how right-wing the failed project of neo-liberal capitalism has become that Ford would be thought of as left-wing in any way.
