Widely known as the bible to cultivate financial wisdom and increase personal wealth, George Clason's The Richest Man in Babylon offers timeless business advice wrapped in the guise of parables set 4,000 years ago in ancient Babylon. The book was originally published in the form of a series of pamphlets that were distributed by banks and insurance companies from 1920 to 1924. In 1926, the pamphlets were bound together and published as a book. In the book, the parables are chronicles by a fictional Babylonian called Arkad, a poor scribe who goes on to become the richest man in Babylon. Arkad's personal finance advice is divided into the "Seven Cures", which detail how a person can generated money and wealth, and "Five Laws of Gold", which talk about how an individual can protect and invest their wealth. Clason's The Richest Man in Babylon remains in print even after 90 years of the publication of its first edition, which sold over two million copies. In 1930, Clason brought out an illustrated hardback edition of the book, titled The Richest Man in Babylon and Other Stories. The book continues to appear on reading lists pertaining to business advice for offering time-tested tips on gaining and retaining prosperity.

Written for the roaring twenties, it became a type of bible for traveling salesmen during the great depression. Never out of print. A companion volume might be the Dale Carnegie HTWFAIP, but more likely paired with Hill's "Think and Grow Rich". But you will learn how to fatten your wallet, pinch a penny, begin a life-long style of living that has a high chance of almost doubling the value of your income and leaving you a woodpile for old age or an inheritance in your last will. Still in the original hokey King James English. Trusting money experts, finding money experts to trust. It is the first book you need after you get serious about life. Light, quick, cheap...you will give it away.

This book is a classic. My son's college finance teacher said that "The Richest Man in Babylon" would be the class textbook, not the required supplemental reading, if the school had not provided a text. The book contains the principles for financial success that I was taught as a child, and that have helped my family manage very well on a public schoolteacher's income -- inasfar as I have remembered them. I'm so glad for a refresher and will rededicate our family finances to this timeless wisdom, beginning today!
