In life, Benjamin Franklin sought to manage debt, organize credit, build capital and promote virtue. After death, he continued this work by leaving a codicil to his last will and testament, bequeathing £2, 000 to Boston and Philadelphia. This study examines Franklin's codicil and the financial history of America over the 200 years since his death. | Benjamin Franklin And The Invention Of Microfinance by Bruce H.
