It's not exactly news that Ford was an anti semite. Everybody knows that. There have been lots of books about that so I wonder what the fuss is about.
Irrespective of that, he is still one of the greatest industrialists this world has ever seen.

Was he an anti-Semite, though?

Clearly the Nazis liked Henry. But that doesn’t necessarily make Ford an anti-Semite any more than it would automatically make him a Nazi.

Ford did have at least one flaming anti-Semite working high up in his company, but did Ford share that predjudice?

Looks like Ford wrote something entitled Studies on the Jewish Question". A series of newspaper columns, in his paper, I think. The columns may have been later collected into a book. If I can scare up a link to the text, I post it. I'd like to read what he wrote. :-)

Yeah, I’ve seen that on TV documentaries about Ford. How is this news and why fire someone over it? Maybe there’s more to the story.

Was Ford’s anti-semitism more anti-globalism?
