The Richest Man in Babylon

George S. Clason · 1926

Personal finance dressed as ancient parable — and timeless.

Summary

Clason's parables, set in ancient Babylon, deliver simple but durable rules: pay yourself first, control expenses, multiply gold through investment, guard against loss, own your home, plan for retirement, increase earning ability. Almost a century later, the book remains one of the cleanest introductions to personal finance ever written, precisely because it doesn't chase complexity.
