In the 1920s, George Clason wrote pamphlets on financial literacy for banks, styling them after the teachings of the Babylonian scribe Arkad, who became the richest man in the city. The pamphlets were so popular that the author decided to collect them all under one cover.
'The Richest Man in Babylon' is a treasure trove of timeless advice on how to increase your wealth without neglecting yourself.
Abstract
Babylon was the most prosperous city of antiquity precisely because its inhabitants knew the value of money, followed the basic principles of wealth accumulation, and knew how to manage it wisely.
'Money is always in abundance for those who know the simple principles of obtaining it' - and these principles are set out in ten parables. In them, respected residents of Babylon will tell about their difficult path from poverty to wealth: how they managed to overcome addictions and become the most successful people in the city. They will give simple, and most importantly, effective advice that will help the reader properly manage earnings, save and increase wealth, fulfill their desires and achieve independence - something that others only dream of.
