The Richest Man in Babylon

The Success Secrets of the Ancients

By: George S. Clason

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

With more than two million copies sold, this classic guide to accumulating wealth has profoundly affected the world. Author George S. Clason uses simple and inspiring parables to illustrate how easily people can change their fiscal habits to enjoy a comfortable level of financial independence.

Unlike most financial self-help books, The Richest Man in Babylon does not present the latest fashionable idea for fattening bank accounts. Instead, it offers time-tested techniques, wittily illuminated through amusing fables, that clearly and concisely illustrate the path toward establishing a stabler budget and building greater savings.

If you are combatting debt, struggling to secure your retirement, or fighting to stretch every dollar you earn, you need look no further than the common sense ideas of this indispensable volume.

Critic reviews

"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." (Los Angeles Times)

Worth "Reading" Again and Again

I first read this book about 20 years ago and have continued to re-read it on an almost annual basis to keep me on track. It's lessons are simple but definately worth repeating. I'm thrilled that it's available on Audible as my paper copy is quite tattered.

Richest Man in Babylon

Though this book may have been written in the 1950 era, it still has valuable information for anyone who is interested in the basics of financial management.

I guarantee anyone who utilizes the fundamental principles taught in this book will never be in debt, and never be short of money.
