Wish to share this wonderful ebook - The Richest Man in Babylon with you.
It is written by George S. Clason
Read the Foreword of the book:Our prosperity as a nation depends upon the personal financial prosperity of each of us as
individuals.
This book deals with the personal successes of each of us. Success means accomplishments as the
result of our own efforts and abilities. Proper preparation is the key to our success. Our acts
can be no wiser than our thoughts. Our thinking can be no wiser than our understanding.
This book of cures for lean purses has been termed a guide to financial understanding.
That, indeed, is its purpose: to offer those who are ambitious for financial success an
insight which will aid them to acquire money, to keep money and to make their surpluses earn more money.
In the pages which follow, we are taken back to Babylon, the cradle in which was nurtured the
basic principles of finance now recognized and used the world over.
To new readers the author is happy to extend the wish that its pages may contain for them the same
inspiration for growing bank accounts, greater financial successes and the solution of difficult
personal financial problems so enthusiastically reported by readers from coast to coast.
To the business executives who have distributed these tales in such generous quantities to friends,
relatives, employees and associates, the author takes this opportunity to express his gratitude. No
endorsement could be higher than that of practical men who appreciate its teachings because they,
themselves, have worked up to important successes by applying the very principles it advocates.
Babylon became the wealthiest city of the ancient world because its citizens were the richest
people of their time. They appreciated the value of money. They practiced sound financial principles
in acquiring money, keeping money and making their money earn more money. They provided for
themselves what we all desire . . . incomes for the future.
