I've read a lot of things about what Henry Ford did, like having Ford Motor Company guards shoot workers trying to form unions. I even visited his "little museum" in Dearborn. However, I never heard anything before about Henry Ford trying to build a "community" in Brazil such as the Fordlandia described
The richest man in the world by 1927, Ford wanted to do more than make cars. He bought two and a half million acres in the Brazilian Amazon to create a utopian American community. Bloomberg
