In 1926, George S. Clason issued the first of a famous series of pamphlets on thrift and financial success, using parables set in ancient Babylon to make each of his points. These were distributed in large quantities by banks and insurance companies and became familiar to millions, the most famous being "The Richest Man in Babylon," the parable from which the present volume takes its title. Take a trip to ancient Babylon and learn important financial lessons from the richest man in Babylon. Sit with friends in the eating house and learn from the camel trader. Ride in a caravan with the luckiest man in Babylon as he tries to impart wisdom to his partner's grandson. Learn the Seven Cures for a Lean Purse and the Five Laws of Gold.
