Benjamin Franklin and the American Dream

Benjamin Franklin and the American Dream

Available on Prime Video, The Great Courses Signature Collection
S1 E1: Begin your course with a look at Franklin's unfinished autobiography, a book in which he consciously created a persona for himself as a role model others may follow. Although there is more to Franklin than he showed on the page, surveying the Autobiography offers some foundational insights into his life, his worldview, and the times in which he lived.
