About the Author

Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) stands among the most influential figures of American history. A polymath of significant acumen, Franklin's contributions span the spheres of science, diplomacy, and letters. Renowned for his wit and intellectual acuity, Benjamin was a prodigious author and editor, playing a seminal role in shaping American literature and philosophy. His literary style often employed aphoristic wisdom wrapped in a blend of satire and earnestness, espousing values of thrift, hard work, and education as pathways to personal and communal success. Franklin's 'Way to Wealth; or, "Poor Richard Improved"' (1758) encapsulates this literary approach, collecting maxims from his earlier publication, 'Poor Richard's Almanack' (1732–1758), which offered annual amalgamations of calendar information, entertainment, and practical advice. The 'Way to Wealth' epitomizes Franklin's ethos, exuding prudent fiscal and ethical advice that has affirmatively impacted generations. A foundational text in American self-help and personal success literature, Franklin's penchant for accessible prose and astute observations cements his legacy as a venerated author and cultural icon.
