The Way to Wealth: Benjamin Franklin on Matters of Money and Lessons on Livelihood
Graphic Novel - History
What is the way to wealth? And... how do you get there? Benjamin Franklin has a few ideas. He did write the book after all.
There are quite literally thousands of tomes that purport to point the way, but it was Ben Franklin who collected the golden rules he peppered throughout his wildly popular Poor Richard's Almanac and produced a perennial best-seller in 1758, The Way to Wealth, or Poor Richard Improved. Today in 2024, The Way to Wealth: Benjamin Franklin on Matters of Money and Lessons on Livelihood is a new spin on the classic and reimagines the narrative in the modern day with avatars for virtues and vices that help or hinder us in seeking one's own fortune... in whatever we find of value. Additionally, the book includes Franklin's original text with new illustrations.
