The Richest Man in Babylon

A new translation of the world’s most popular book on wealth. In the early 1920s, entrepreneur George Clason published small brochures about thrift and the ability to achieve financial well-being, choosing the form of parables for his teachings, set in ancient Babylon. Banks and insurance companies distributed these texts in enormous print runs, and over time they were read by millions. This is how the book “The Richest Man in Babylon” came to be—Clason’s main parable, now recognized as a classic of success and personal finance literature. The laws of money are simple, universal, and do not change with time. Let them help you too—as they already have countless people—find a reliable path to a full purse, growing savings, and the well-being that comes with financial confidence.
