Ford style profits and land values tied to public use
The text argues that a single business model like Ford’s cannot be universally imitated due to prevailing economic conditions. It notes that public improvements would raise land values, allowing landowners to raise rents, thus limiting real benefits to a small industrial group unless land values are appropriated for public use. Cooperation is needed to apply golden rule principles broadly.
