The Richest Man in Babylon

Babylon was the most prosperous city of antiquity precisely because its inhabitants understood the value of money, followed the basic principles of wealth accumulation, and knew how to manage it wisely. Money is always abundant for those who understand the simple principles of earning it — and these principles are outlined in ten parables. In them, respected citizens of Babylon recount their difficult journey from poverty to wealth: how they managed to overcome destructive habits and become the most successful people in the city. They provide simple, yet effective advice that will help the reader manage their earnings wisely, save and increase their wealth, fulfill their desires, and achieve independence — something that others only dream of.
