Editorial Reviews

Review

“What can a book written in the 1920s tell modern investors about their finances? A whole lot if it's George Clason's delightful set of parables that explain the basics of money. This is a great gift for a graduate or anyone who seems baffled by the world of finance and a wonderful, refreshing read for even the most experienced investor.”—Los Angeles Times

About the Author

George Samuel Clason was born in Louisiana, Missouri, on November 7th, 1874. He attended the University of Nebraska and served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War. A successful businessman, he founded the Clason Map Company of Denver, Colorado and published the first road atlas of the United States and Canada. In 1926, he issued the first of a famous series of pamphlets on thrift and financial success, using parables set in ancient Babylon to make each of his points. These were distributed in large quantities by banks and insurance companies and became familiar to millions, the most famous being “The Richest Man in Babylon,” the parable from which the present volume takes its title. These “Babylonian parables” have become a modern inspirational classic.

Great Book!

BySterling Archeron August 1, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really enjoyed the simplicity of the lessons the writer was trying to convey. I did have to use more effort to read the speech of the characters, as its written with phrases such as "thou hast" and "thy." Overall, the lessons are probably ones we learn growing up, but the stories make it work the read. Each chapter is like a short story, this makes it great for short reads while on breaks at work. There are minor grammatical errors, but I'm not bothered by these. I would definitely recommend to all wanting to enrich themselves.

A classic , straight forward and simple to understand. Also, a good read. Anyone who doesn't know "How" to acquire savings and wealth should read this book. I use it as a basic text for my financial classes. My students get it. 9 parts in 10.

A Book that Must Be Read Before University

ByASHon February 4, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I am regretting that no one told me about this book 15 years back when I was in University. The book has a nice real life stories sequence that one could benefit from it for his personal and business life.

I started with the Audible version which was nice and will start reading it now to note down the important points that I can refer to them in the future.

You will not regret buying this book because it has lessons that you will be surprised will work in our days although it was thought during the Babylon era..

Excellent advice in a unique format

ByRod Thurmanon May 2, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Excellent advice in a unique format. If you seriously want to growth wealth, you need to read, study and understand this material. Some readers may not understand or agree, but that's alright. The rest of us will steam ahead and leave them at the train station wondering where everyone went.
I enjoyed the read, the stories and appreciated the golden nuggets dropped along the way. Great book George!!

Great Advice written in an entertaining fashion

ByRobyn M Romrellon June 22, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love this book. My husband read it years ago and asked me to read it. I have to admit that I wasn't super motivated to read it at first, but I'm glad I did. It's very simplistic in it's message, but some times the simple messages are the ones we miss. It's written as a fable, and gives great advice about what to do with your finances. Since I first read it years ago, I usually buy 4 or 5 copies each year and give them out to new graduates, etc. It's not very long so go for it!

Everyone Should Read This Book

ByD.L.T.on July 15, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. The concepts are extremely simple, yet written in an engaging and entertaining way. Each chapter can be a standalone story, with each story strengthening the overall concepts.

The Richest Man In Babylon gives a straightforward plan for long-term financial success. Simple as that.

Every person that has every earned a dollar should read this book. If this review has been helpful, or if you have questions, please let me know.

ByJorge Harringtonon May 20, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have read this book twice in my life. Will be reading again. When I first read it, I was reading just the first chapter before bed. But found myself sucked in to what I was being taught, that I was so tired for work the next day. I finished it all in one sitting. I had to read in. I have my copies away to other friends. Now I finally have it again.

"Pay yourself" all over again.

If you've read any book on the "pay yourself" principle, there is no need to read this one.
