Henry Ford.
Background:
During the Industrial Revolution (I.R.), 2 types of classes existed unintentionally. A upper class, lower class and not really to much of a middle class. The upper class consisted of factory owners, inventors and capitalists. The lower class mostly had adult and child workers. The upper class created either factories or products for factories. These factories helped created jobs for the lower class, which helped the economy during that time. This economic system, however, lead into future events such as war, political changes, imperialism and colonialism.

He mass-produced the famous "Model-T" automobile. He manufactured his products using a new method - the assembly line. Workers would be located next to the assembly line and they would attach/secure parts onto the car that they are building.
