Description
Widely known as the bible to cultivate financial wisdom and increase personal wealth, George Clason’s The Richest Man in Babylon offers timeless business advice wrapped in the guise of parables set 4,000 years ago in ancient Babylon. The book was originally published in the form of a series of pamphlets that were distributed by banks and insurance companies from 1920 to 1924. In 1926, the pamphlets were bound together and published as a book.
In the book, the parables are chronicles by a fictional Babylonian called Arkad, a poor scribe who goes on to become the richest man in Babylon. Arkad’s personal finance advice is divided into the “Seven Cures”, which detail how a person can generated money and wealth, and “Five Laws of Gold”, which talk about how an individual can protect and invest their wealth.
Clason’s The Richest Man in Babylon remains in print even after 90 years of the publication of its first edition, which sold over two million copies. In 1930, Clason brought out an illustrated hardback edition of the book, titled The Richest Man in Babylon and Other Stories. The book continues to appear on reading lists pertaining to business advice for offering time-tested tips on gaining and retaining prosperity.

George S. Clason (1874–1957)
A soldier, businessman, and a writer, George Samuel Clason was born in Louisiana, Missouri, in 1874. He attended the University of Nebraska, and later served in the United States Army during the Spanish American War (1898). Clason went on to start two companies: the Clason Map Company of Denver, Colorado, and the Clason Publishing Company. Interestingly, the Clason Map Company was the first to publish a road atlas, detailing the network of routes across the United States and Canada. However, when the Great Depression arrived, the company did not survive the ordeal.
George Clason is best known for writing pamphlets and books on being thrifty and how to accomplish success in finances. In 1926, he began writing pamphlets on achieving financial abundance. Towards this end, he made use of parables that were set in ancient Babylon. The most significant of these were compiled into the book The Richest Man in Babylon, which remains a classic to this day when it comes to the subject of personal finance.
Clason passed away in Napa, California, and was buried in San Mateo County,
in California.
