The Richest Man in Babylon - Book Review

Written by George Clason and originally published in 1926, “The Richest Man in Babylon” is a foundational book when it comes to understanding money. Clason originally published these stories as a series of pamphlets designed to teach an axiom about investing or saving such as “pay yourself first.” His parables are short and easily accessible making this a great first read for kids in middle or high school. 

After nearly 100 years, Clason’s work deserves its place as a mainstay in the financial cannon and I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to start their journey to financial literacy.
