“The richest man in Babylon”.

The wisdom of the ancient world in the format of short parables for those who want to make their own fortune. Back in 1926, George Clayson, a successful businessman and founder of the Clayson Map, wrote notes on how to earn and save money to make a fortune. In form, they resembled Babylonian parables. Clayson published them as pamphlets that were a success with bank clerks, insurance company employees, and then with ordinary people. Why Babylon? It was in the richest city in the ancient world that the foundations of financial literacy were born, and it was in the wisdom of the Babylonians that Clayson drew inspiration.

“What the Richest Man in Babylon Didn’t Tell You.”

The sequel to the bestselling The Richest Man in Babylon. George Clayson’s parable essays on savings and financial success have been reprinted for a century straight. And in this book, financier Isaac Nolan, a disciple of Clayton, has published unpublished parables about the laws of gold and the secrets of wealth.
