About This Work
"The Way to Wealth" is Benjamin Franklin's magnum opus—a masterful compilation of advice from his famous Poor Richard's Almanack, which he published annually from 1732 to 1758. In this essay, an elderly character named Father Abraham strings together Franklin's best proverbs on industry, frugality, and financial prudence.
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
Franklin wrote this piece as a preface to the final edition of his almanac, creating a narrative where common folk gather to hear Father Abraham's wisdom while waiting for an auction to begin. The result is a concentrated dose of practical philosophy that has guided readers for over 250 years.
This edition—featuring an introduction by Frazier Thomas—marks the first work printed for Archimedia. A fitting beginning with Franklin's most celebrated essay. Keep it on your desk or gift it to someone beginning their journey toward financial independence.
