Answer

No, Ford is not considered a robber baron; rather, he's known as a captain of industry. He didn't engage in trust agreements (which were illegal) or consolidation. He in no way stifled free trade and competition. What he did do was use smart, fair business practices, such as pay his workers $5 for an eight-hour workday, set up his own factory that eliminated the need of an outside supplier and refinery, and made mass production possible through a moving assembly line.

He is, however, considered Anti-Semitic, based on text printed in his Dearborn, Michigan newspaper.
