What it is
Why do some people build lasting wealth while others work their entire lives and still struggle to get ahead?
In The Richest Man in Babylon, George S. Clason uses memorable stories from ancient Babylon to explain simple principles for earning, saving, investing, avoiding debt, and building financial security.
At the center of the book is Arkad, a poor scribe who becomes the richest man in Babylon by learning to keep part of what he earns, control his expenses, protect his savings, and put his money to work.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
Keep more of the money you earn
Control expenses and costly financial habits
Make your savings grow and work for you
Protect your money from poor investments and bad advice
Increase your earning ability
Build greater financial security over time
This edition also includes an original introduction exploring George S. Clason's life, the background of his Babylonian parables, and the lasting influence of his financial ideas.
An accompanying PDF features more than 10 original illustrations created specifically for this edition, bringing the characters, settings, and lessons of ancient Babylon to life.
For anyone trying to save more, escape debt, invest more wisely, or simply develop better habits with money, this classic offers a practical place to begin.
