Should be recommended reading!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Do not be fooled by the size of this book. Though small it provides a treasury of solid wisdom and advice on financial thriftiness, a solid work ethic, benefits of being industrious, as well as addressing the ills of laziness and extravagance. These topics are presented in a straight forward mannner. Seasoned with just the right amount of wit to further drive home the points in the book, it is an excellent read. The Way To Wealth should be recommended reading for all children. A prerequisite to graduation. Many adults would benefit greatly from the contents as well.
WORDS FOR THE WISE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Benjamin Franklin's words are just as true today as they were 200 years ago. At only 30 pages, this book is full of lessons that seem to have fallen upon deaf ears in today's business world. You will find this volume well worth your time, and will recognize a number of popular sayings that are included therein. Franklin's wit and eloquently simple writing style is as pleasurable to read as it is informative. I highly recommend it.
Creating Wealth in a Nutshell
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is very good. Ben Franklin has a great style. This book is very short, but he gets to the point. Although this bookw as wriiten before the American Revolution, the suggestions are still relevant today. This book is a good little sermon on what to do if you want wealth, dont sleep all day, dont take on debt, etc. I enjoyed it. The cover and binding are very nice too.

No Harvard MBA would be complete without the wisdom contained within this little book. A captivating story line with principles and nuggets of truth just leaping off of the page. Will it take a week to progress start to finish? No , hardly an hour!
