Editorial Reviews

Review
A great gift. -- Los Angeles Times

Review
"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 explain the basics of money. This is a great gift for a graduate or anyone who seems baffled by the world of finance and a wonderful, refreshing read for even the most experienced investor."

5.0 out of 5 starsRead It!, May 3, 2009         
If this was required reading in Middle School, perhaps the US and the world wouldn't be in the financial mess we're in today. Basic common sense rules for managing money are espoused in this book. The problem is that common sense is becoming increasingly uncommon. I gave this short book to someone who was going into the hospital to read there, knowing they would have time to kill. That they didn't read it was enlightening. People are ignorant about money because they choose to be. Don't be ignorant, read this book! 
5.0 out of 5 stars POWERFUL, VERY POWERFUL BOOK!
I am continually amazed at how a book so small can contain so much content and be so powerful. This book should be mandatory reading beginning at the grade school level through college and should be given as a gift right along with a diploma. 
5.0 out of 5 stars An Old Book with a Fair Amount of Wisdom, November 8, 2001
I often give this book out as a gift whenever a person younger than me asks for my advice on money. I always present this book to them saying "if you read it and do as it says, it will work magic." It really contains excellent, time tested advice, and would make a good gift for someone in their early 20s who is on their own for the first time, and struggling. 
5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a must read for everyone., March 4, 2000 

When I started in sales 15 years ago, a very good friend of mine turned me on on the mind books. This was one of three he recommended and he was very successful.The other books were Think and Grow Rich and Success through a Positive Mental Attitude. The principles in Richest Man in Bablyon are timeless. Remember, you can live off your income, but you can't get wealthy off your income. You only get wealthy by investing and Richest Man in Bablyon teaches that all important step of investing.Two other books to read in the area of personal finance are Wealth without Risk and Financial Self Defense by Charles Givens. These books will show you how to save more on what you make.
