Benjamin Franklin—statesman, inventor, and journalist—stands among the great heroes of American history. And who better to tell his story than one of his own descendants? Dr. Mark Skousen, economist, investment expert, and historian, brings Franklin to life in his new book The Greatest American. An eighth-generation descendant of the great signer of the Declaration of Independence, Skousen examines the life and ideas of the man whom the Founding Fathers themselves regarded as the greatest thinker of them all.
Join us for a live webinar as the Goldwater Institute’s Timothy Sandefur sits down with Dr. Mark Skousen to explore Benjamin Franklin’s views on free trade, slavery, the Constitution, and the timeless legacy the Greatest American left for us all—and don’t miss your chance to grab a copy of The Greatest American to dive even deeper into Franklin’s life and philosophy.
