亨利·福特:我的生活与工作·补录 386

亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导

When a country goes mad about foreign trade it usually depends on other countries for its raw material, turns its population into factory fodder, creates a private rich class, and lets its own immediate interest lie neglected. Here in the United States we have enough work to do developing our own country to relieve us of the necessity of looking for foreign trade for a long time. We have agriculture enough to feed us while we are doing it, and money enough to carry the job through. Is there anything more stupid than the United States standing idle because Japan or France or any other country has not sent us an order when there is a hundred-year job awaiting us in developing our own country?

白话

当一个国家对外贸狂热时,它通常依赖他国提供原材料,将人口变成工厂饲料,制造一个私人富裕阶层,而忽视自身 immediate 利益。在美国,我们有足够的工作来发展自己的国家,很长一段时间内无需寻找外贸。我们有足够的农业养活自己,有足够的资金完成这项工作。还有什么比美国因为日本或法国没有给我们订单而闲置更愚蠢的事吗?我们面前有百年大业等待开发。

上下文

福特在书中主张美国应优先发展国内市场,减少对国际贸易的依赖,以保障本国人民福祉。

今日一问

我们是否过于关注外部机会,而忽略了身边亟待发展的领域?
