Was Benjamin Franklin “the Father of the Industrial Revolution? - The Lunar Society

Become a member of The Lunar Society - https://lunarsociety.org.uk In this exclusive talk to The Lunar Society, historian and author Anton Chaitkin will present evidence to make the case that Benjamin Franklin, the American scientist and statesman, mentored and inspired the startling advancements that transformed British industry. He then organised America’s preparations for its own world-leading industrialisation. Chaitkin says: “Franklin was a happy man, because he so successfully encouraged genius and compassion. We see it with his brilliant English friends, the inventors and developers in the Eighteenth Century Lunar Society. We see it with his American circle, who won U.S. independence; and with his protégés and heirs, who modernised their own and other countries, over the opposition of slaveowners and imperialists.” Anton Chaitkin is the author of Who We Are: America’s fight for Universal Progress, from Franklin to Kennedy (Volume 1, 1750s to 1850s) available from Amazon, as Kindle e-book and from all good booksellers. To mark the publication of Who we are: Americas fight for universal progess, from Franklin to Kennedy (Volume 1) and the 250th Anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s tour of England, The Lunar Society is organising a transatlantic virtual event with Anton Chaitkin speaking exclusively to members and guests.
