Henry Ford and Muscle Shoals in a political lens
A Woelroit correspondent offers a graphic critique of Henry Ford’s push to acquire Muscle Shoals power to power a vast mill complex, debating whether his bid is a legitimate economic plan or a veiled political threat. The piece cites Ford’s alleged mercenary motives, the need for a fair contract, and warns that true political traction requires a sturdy organization and value for the public, not rhetoric. It also touches on Turkey’s status as the “sick man of Europe,” currency devaluation, and market fragility in the postwar era.
