A review by seanius
The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

3.0

Biblically styled text of solid old fashioned financial advice: work hard, save a little, invest regularly, and live within your means. Some idiosyncrasies include the specification of a slave as being black (which could be interpreted in various ways...) and also the bizarre pattern of male protagonists suddenly baring their chests to the narrator. Possibly worth a read - is generally hopeful in tone, that work can lead to good, and even is a good in itself. Shamelessly holds material success as a positive thing, and left me wondering if all the pseudo spiritual dismissal of wealth I encountered as an R.C. is really entirely the best way...
