Detroit Had the PERFECT Car Industry - Until the Counters REPLACED the Builders

In 1955, Detroit controlled over 90% of the American car market. The Big Three weren't just building cars — they were building the middle class. A factory job meant a house, a family, a future. Then, one decision at a time, the people running these companies stopped caring about the product and started obsessing over the quarterly report. This video traces how Detroit went from the most dominant industrial force on earth to a cautionary tale. From the arrogance that dismissed foreign imports as toys, to GM hiring private investigators on a safety critic instead of fixing the car, to Ford's infamous memo weighing recall costs against lawsuit payouts — the pattern is always the same: the counters replaced the builders. We look at the oil crisis that exposed Detroit's weakness, the American statistician whose ideas were rejected by Detroit but transformed Japanese manufacturing, and the human cost paid by workers in places like Flint, Michigan. This isn't just a car story. It's a warning about what happens in any industry when the spreadsheet becomes the product. #detroit #yestertainment #documentary
