In the 1920s, Henry Ford created a utopia in the middle of the Amazon jungle. The plan was to produce enough rubber to feed his auto empire, but the dream soon turned into a nightmare. Disease, riots, mud - and caterpillars - were too much for Ford's millions.

If you are wondering why Ford went through all of that trouble, it's important to remember that British Malaysia and Dutch Indonesia at the time had a monopoly on the Rubber trade, and had an OPEC like organization that controlled the industry. So rubber consumers were desperate to find alternative sources, because no one likes to be dependent on a monopoly.
@anthonygordon9483
@anthonygordon9483 2 года назад
Yeah I think there is more to it then that. Goodyear has been in business since 1898 and Akron till this day is considered the rubber capital of the world and the only American company to this day that still does not outsource. Ford was a decent man but he still was greedy. I think he wanted his own monopoly and he didn't want to dispute with American companies. He was trying to out source at a time when American manufacturing was still strong.

@@anthonygordon9483 Ford no doubt wanted to have vertical control of the entire car manufacturing process. The video mentions this, so there is no point in me mentioning it in my comment. The video doesn't mention the monopoly that the British and Dutch had on (raw) rubber. It's also why Ford went to Brazil instead of just buying a plantation in Malaysia or Indonesia (which would have been easier) because he would have had to participate in the cartel the British and Dutch formed. Goodyear had to buy the raw rubber from the British and Dutch at that time. I can assure you there are no rubber plantations in Akron Ohio. My comment definitely wasn't intended to oversimpfly things nor was intended to say that Ford didn't want vertical integration. If that's how it came across I apologize. Rather it was intended to provide additional information missing from the video that in my opinion is extremely important in explaining some the questions I had when watching it. (They talked about rubber in Asia why didn't Ford just build his Fordlandia there? Why go through all of that trouble when there were other commodities he didn't control?(although he controlled alot)).

He used industrial soya for interior vehicle parts, if it was engineered further it could have been suitable for tyres. The fact large Dandelion produce rubber type substance that is used in the EU. Industrial soya first used in China as a green manure may have provided if engineered with other material a solution. Land based transport as with sea transport operates in primitive mode .

I think the workers buying and eating food they wanted with what was described as generous wages was an easy solution to the diets. But it was too much of a cultural clash between an industrial people and those who were at the extreme end of not. Neither side is the bad guy. That's an ignorant, modern viewpoint on this. Rioting and looting because of what was a few minor cafeteria rules seems a little extreme too. Or complaining that the owners were very strict because you had to punch in for work on time. At the time in history, there was a health clinic in Michigan (Battle Creek) advocating the bland diet like that as being the healthiest thing for a person. They thought they were doing what was best for the people, not a cheap carb food source. They were spending millions of dollars so they were not trying to cut a few pennies here.

@locolalo1364
@locolalo1364 2 года назад
@Save 🇺🇸 Ford didn't bring civilization. Learn your terms before you begin to use them. He brought industrialization to the untamed Amazon. It had nothing to do with "civilization wasn't appreciated". Civilization always existed within those communities. Ford had no regard for social stratification, government, cultures and identities. Similarly to how the Americans complain about immigrants not fitting into the American culture, Ford did the same to the people of the Amazon. His biggest defeat was of course, a disregard to the environment first and the natives second. Ford assumed that developing in a wet tropical rain forest would be as easy as developing in a temperate grasslands and forests (like in Michigan). Even the Asian plantations mentioned in the video were established in dry rain forests, which is a night and day difference compared to the Amazon. The Amazon region has the potentiality to become one of the most successful regions in the world, however they face the most difficult challenges any civilization has encountered. Their environment. The Europeans in contrast have had the most easily tamed environments even when compared to the Americans, Arabs, Asians or Africans.

Tropical hardwoods are in demand worldwide. But they are a scarce commodity and expensive. They do not grow quickly, and so are difficult to replenish. There are tropical locations that are growing rapidly and therefore clearing land and cutting down trees of great value. To my way of thinking, it's a shame that the forest is destroyed this way, but I can't fault poor people for clearing forests in order to grow food and making a living for themselves. Yet, given that these precious trees are going to be cut, I would prefer that they be processed as lumber and used for constructive and artistic purposes. However, the populations grow faster than the industry required to process and export the wood. Instead of making use of the trees, they are simply piled up and burned. And that is a great shame.

Those ecosystems take so long to evolve to the state that they were in.. it's like finding a cave full of crystals. It's a fine tuned, work of art that took a lot of time and very precise set of circumstances for it to be created and flourish. I live in Oregon and we have some patches of "old growth forest" still and the Amazon rainforest in a sense is the same sort of precious unique ecosystem. It creates this web that all sorts of different species can flourish off of and fill their own niche in the environment they live in.)

Henry Ford wasn't the only one who tried to profit from the Amazon and fail, another failure was Daniel Keith Ludwig "Jari Project" 1967 - 1982, for what a thermal power plant and the pulp mill itself were towed from Japan. Ludwig left the enterprise in 1982. In 2000, "Jari Project" (Projeto Jari) became controlled by "Grupo Orsa", so that Jari Celulose not only became economically viable, but also proved to be sustainable, receiving certification in 2004 by the Forest Stewardship Council. Nowadays it's the cattle ranchers who profit from Amazon, with more modest investments, they sell the wood to clandestine loggers, who clear the area for cattle ranching. USA and EU buy this wood.
