Everyone knows Benjamin Franklin's famous adages like "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise" and "Never leave that till to-morrow, which you can do to-day." These famous maxims derive from a 1758 essay, originally published as a preface to Poor Richard's Almanack, that has since become one of the most widely circulated economic texts in history--appearing in over 1,100 versions and translated into over 26 languages before 1850 alone. An author, inventor, scientist, politician, and leading Founding Father, Franklin wrote the definitive text on the pragmatic path to prosperity that the average individual could follow.

Well known for its simplicity and practicality, Benjamin Franklin's Way to Wealth is America's first, and likely most accessible, book on personal finance.
