Synopsis

This inspiring book, began in 1926 as a series of informational pamphlets distributed by banks and insurance companies. By 1927, several of these pamphlets had been compiled into a book and this collection has been in print ever since. It has helped millions of people, and has been hailed as the greatest of all inspirational works on the subject of thrift, financial planning, and personal wealth. A modern day classic, it dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set in ancient Babylon. These famous “Babylonian parables” offer an understanding of-and solution to-a lifetime's worth of personal financial problems, and hold the secrets to acquiring money, keeping money, and making money earn more money.

There is nothing of value here. The ideas here could more properly be written on a single page, and they are ideas that you must have heard hundreds of times by now. If you haven't, pick up any book on personal finance written in the past decade.The only reason to like this book in particular is if you just have to have your common sense financial wisdom presented in the form of a biblical parable. If that is the case then this book might be for you after all.
