|a "Was Benjamin Franklin an indispensable public servant or a cunning chameleon? A hard-headed entrepreneur or an opportunistic privateer? A devoted family man or a notorious womanizer? A scientist and inventor or a hoaxer and self promoter? A believer or a heretic? The first civilized American or the most dangerous man in America? Read this book, and you decide! In The Greatest American, Dr. Mark Skousen-"America's Economist" and a direct descendant of the old man-reveals many new features and little-known facts about Ben Franklin, such as: - Why Franklin was a free trader: "No nation was ever ruined by trade." - The surprising benefits of inflation to pay for the American Revolution. - How the War of Independence transformed him from a religious heretic to a believing theist. - Why he hated party politics. - How he changed his mind about slavery and became a devout abolitionist. - The truth about his love affairs with women. Did he really abandon his wife Deborah, or did she abandon him? - Why he never applied for any patents for his famous inventions. - Why George Washington loved Franklin and John Adams despised him. - Why he turned against his beloved son, William, and never forgave him. - His preference for private welfare and charities rather than state-run social programs and welfare. Benjamin Franklin was the oldest of the founding fathers -- he was indeed a whole generation ahead of George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson -- and yet he was the most forward-looking of the group and the most modern of the founders. The Greatest American shows just how much of an impact Benjamin Franklin had on American politics and daily life."--from Amazon.com.
