Poor Richard's Almanack
Benjamin Franklin · 1732
Benjamin Franklin's almanac of practical wisdom on thrift, industry and prudence — the namesake and direct inspiration for Charlie Munger's Poor Charlie's Almanack.
Munger built his persona, and his book, on Franklin. Rationality and frugality distilled into aphorisms.
