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.

Still great

ByA. Guzmanon July 1, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The teachings remain current to this day, and the story still easy to read without complications. Everyone should read it at least once and more importantly, practice the teachings.

Proven Advice Over The Years

ByEAST TEXAS SURVEYORon June 7, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought my first copy of this book 30 years ago on the advice of a co-worker. He explained to me that one year in addition to Christmas bonuses, the owner of the company passed out copies of this book and told his employees that if they would read the book and adhere to its principles, that they would gain much more wealth than they would from the money he was giving them. I was curious enough to purchase and read a copy and was impressed with the simple advice contained in the book. Please don't think that you are going to find the secret to instant wealth and success embedded somewhere deep in this book. The secret to obtaining wealth over a lifetime begins with a change in the way that you make, handle, save and spend money and takes years of discipline to accomplish. This is an easy book to read and one that should be required reading. In the 30 years since I have read it, I have probably purchased and passed out a dozen copies to my friends. I would say that several of them have benefited greatly from having read it and have more wealth because of it. I gave the last two copies to my sons who were in college in hopes that they will find a jewel in the advice contained in the book. Buy a copy, read it and see if it doesn't help you out in your financial future. For me, the old employer was correct - the book was of much more value than the generous bonus that he also gave.

Must read book

ByThe Review Guyon March 18, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book should be mandatory reading in 7th grade, 12th grade and one more time in college. Too many people in this country don't understand money, finances, money management, etc.
The decisions and debt many go into can be avoided simply by igniting the ideas this book espouses in people's mind (especially the young).

Get this book and think of money in a way most of us were never taught.

I bought the kindle edition and the formatting was perfectly fine.

I've only made it a third thru the book, but its been a wonderful learning experience.
A great book to give to teenagers and young adults, in hopes they learn how to handle their money for now, and for future experiences.

The Richest Man in (place your own city/country name here)

ByErick Kiokoon September 29, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Wisdom however old remains wisdom if used and applied accordingly. The wisdom contained in this short book is of far greater vakue than the pricebof this book. I already knew some of the teachings within, and had ideas aboit the others. But this book pit everything in one place, and clearly taughr and explained each valuable point. The wisdom contained in this book is more valuable than the gold thay jingles from ones purse...

Sensible advice delivered by a storyteller

ByLauraon July 12, 2011

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book contains a wealth of practical, sensible financial advice, related in the form of entertaining stories.

I have not always been terribly fascinated by information on money, but I decided recently I needed to learn more, and assigned myself a financial reading list, filled with books that were listed on multiple web sites as being some of the best financial books out there. This book managed to take a subject I was not overly eager to tackle and make it fun.

The information provided herein is basic common sense, but it contained some good reminders, and inspired me to actually take steps to improve my own financial health. I think this book would serve as a good primer for anyone wanting to learn the basics of wise money management.

The storytelling style reminded me of the Arabian Nights.
