我昨天看完一本书，叫做《美国之梦》。后来我研究了一下，发现这本希望出版社出版的210页的书，2006年用同一个ISBN号出版的时候，叫做《雷电捕捉者》，是一本绿色封皮的书，现在变成米色封皮了。但是内容都是一样的，其实就是《富兰克林自传》，这本书在豆瓣上有相当多个译本，可见流行的程度。
这本书是富兰克林晚年的时候写的一本随笔性质的自传，脉络不是很清晰——当时他手头参考资料也不够，只能想到哪里写到哪里。富兰克林是一位传奇性的人物，才华横溢，品格优良，早年创业赚钱，中年时进入公共事务和科学界，也曾在战争中贡献过力量，最后又成为美国的建国者。无论用什么年代的标准来衡量，这样的人都是梦幻般的人物，精英中的绝对精英。不经意间就学会了四门语言，走到哪里都能够和上层人物接上关系，玩一玩电学试验仪器就成了科学巨擘，不小心就创立了几个延续几百年的机构——这些事情，在他的笔下，就如我写的流水账一样随意的写出来。我就不太明白，这种事情有什么参考价值？除了打击打击普通人之外，或许可以勉强窥视一下精英的人物在处理事情时候的方式，如此而已。
那个时候的美国城市化的水平已经相当的高了，议会等的权利结构也已经相当的成熟，各方面利益团体的冲突也逐渐的显现。富兰克林一开始做报业，就经历了数次的冲突，一直到自己进入议会，才得以缓过来，大大赚上一段时间。通过这些冲突，他也逐渐的去学习怎么样和他人协调，怎么样拟定规则、平衡权利。那个时候的城市作为一个城市，还有相当多的基础设施没有完善，他就组织建大学、建医院、建火灾联防队，组织安排清扫街道，等等。他通过报业的经验，学会了如何掌握舆论，同时他也创建了精英的阅读组织“共读会”，通过精英讨论来影响上层人士的思想，为社会改革铺平道路。此外，在更多的情况下，人们似乎更关注富兰克林的个人修养，比如他勤勉的品质，比如他给自己列的十三条道德准则，我觉得这其中有一半是天生，有一半是迫于人生的教训得出的结论。
富兰克林是一个接近完美的人，但他更多的是在追求自己的安身立命，功成名就，是一种“实用的功利主义哲学”。“美国之梦”这个词，当时还没有出现在他们的字典上呢。
