Mine is Henry Ford. He's the catalyst of the 40 hour work week and 5 days a week that has been standard to the present day. Because we're seeing now how little that really does for anyone anymore, where people are having to sacrifice more of their freedom to work second jobs or more hours than they should.

I don't think it's his fault directly for those reasons, but him thinking the 40 hour/5 day a week plan is a good one is just a poor reading into the future with the way it's gone since the establishment.
