Kiedy w 1492 roku Krzysztof Kolumb dobił do wybrzeży Ameryki, nie mógł wiedzieć, że stoi na lądzie, na którym rozwinie się potężne mocarstwo gospodarcze i mekka wolności. Ojcami sukcesu Stanów Zjednoczonych byli Benjamin Franklin i ludzie mu podobni – pracowici i oszczędni protestanci.

Statesman, inventor, and humorist, Benjamin Franklin had an alter ego, Richard Saunders. It was this alter ego that would write the Poor Richard's Almanack.

Benjamin Franklin considère l'abondance comme un bien de portée universelle. Selon lui, l'abondance est assurée pour tout le monde, moyennant une certaine sagesse.

Among other things, Franklin was a printer, philosopher, inventor, statesman, and not least, a writer. Franklin's autobiography captures the essence of his spirit. In it, we can see him as a product of the 18th century enlightenment, a type of Yankee statesman who could use the language of Addison, Steele, Swift, and Defoe. In his autobiography, Franklin asks himself, "Who am I, how did I come to be, and why am I a human being as I am?" And he answers with the honesty, wit, and charm.
