    About this audiobook

    The Richest Man in Babylon by George Samuel Clason provides financial advice through a collection of parables. George S Clason is best known for writing a series of informational pamphlets about being thrifty and how to achieve financial success. He started writing the pamphlets in 1926, using parables that were set in ancient Babylon. Banks and insurance companies began to distribute the parables and the most famous ones were compiled into the book The Richest Man in Babylon. It is this book which has etched the name of George S Clason into the history books and has provided generations of readers not just an inspirational classic for reading pleasure but sound practical principles of financial discipline. This is the most famous of his treasured works. The Richest Man in Babylon is a chapter sketch.

    • 5/5
      There is much truth to be gleaned from George’s book. Truths that haven’t changed since they were first recorded. One can learn a great deal about finances and business from this book, but will do them no good unless they put them to practice. Will reread again.

      This a classic that I reread every year. If you have children give them this gift early in life.
    • 5/5
      Lots of good financial lessons intertwined within interesting stories. A lot more entertaining to learn them this way than a traditional Suze Orman book you’ll never finish.
