Benjamin Franklin and the Invention of Microfinance
Journal · pp. 1-221
Abstract

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. © Taylor & Francis 2010. All rights reserved.
