Richest Man in Babylon
— Prelum Classicum Edition
A timeless handbook of money, discipline, and opportunity.
George S. Clason’s The Richest Man in Babylon distils practical wisdom into vivid parables—pay yourself first, control expenses, make your gold multiply, protect it from loss. A century on, its clear, memorable rules still help readers build habits that compound into freedom.
