The financial plan outlined in this book is an accessible and fascinating modern economic approach to getting rich. George Samuel Clayson wrote and published the collected essays on austerity and financial success over four years. The book demonstrates key principles in money management through stories and parables set in Ancient Babylon and recounted by Arkad, a formerly poor scribe who became the richest man in Babylon. The original pamphlets were read by millions of people and the "The Richest Man in Babylon" endures as a recommended modern literature classic on economics, financial management and self-development.
