Written by George S. Clason - Audio book narrated by Richard Ferrone - Unabridged Fiction - 4 COMPACT DISCS - 5 hours Publisher, Recorded Books (June 2005) "Every gold piece you save is a slave to work for you." "Wealth is reserved for those who know its laws and abide by them." --George S. Clason With more than two million copies sold, this classic guide to accumulating wealth has profoundly affected the world. Author George S. Clason uses simple and inspiring parables to illustrate how easily people can change their fiscal habits to enjoy a comfortable level of financial independence. Unlike most financial self-help books, The Richest Man in Babylon does not present the latest fashionable idea for fattening bank accounts. Instead, it offers time-tested techniques, wittily illuminated through amusing fables, that clearly and concisely illustrate the path toward establishing a stabler budget and building greater savings. If you are combating debt, struggling to secure your retirement, or fighting to stretch every dollar you earn, you need look no further than the commonsense ideas of this indispensable volume. "What can a book written in the 1920s tell modern investors about their finances? A whole lot if it's George Clason's delightful set of parables that explains the basics of money. " —Los Angeles Times About the Author: Author George S. Clason, born in Missouri in 1874, served in the Army during the Spanish-American War before founding the Clason Map Company, which published the first road atlas of America and Canada. In 1926, he began to write financial pamphlets that used parables set in ancient Babylon—one of history's most magnificent civilizations—to drive home his points about being thrifty and building wealth. The pamphlets were widely distributed by banks and insurance companies. |
