The Way to Wealth: Benjamin Franklin on Matters of Money and Lessons on Livelihood - Paperback

by Benjamin Franklin (Based on a Book by), Tim E. Ogline (Artist)

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.

Adapted and illustrated by Tim E. Ogline, MBA, this graphic novel is a companion to his highly regarded Ben Franklin for Beginners. Ogline's first book about Ben Franklin has been called "beguiling" by Pulitzer Prize winner Joseph J. Ellis and a "must read" by former Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell. The book has also been called "nothing short of totally brilliant" by Geekadelphia. Additionally, Tim Ogline is the co-author and artist of We Survived the Holocaust: The Bluma and Felix Goldberg Story, called "vital reading" by Publishers Weekly and "moving and important" by Kirkus.
