The Richest Man in Babylon dispenses financial advice through a collection of parables set in ancient Babylon. Originally published in 1926, sprinkled with King James English, and narrated with Shakespearean intensity by the able Richard Ferrone, this is a high-impact personal finance audio that sounds like it’s speaking to us from the time of Jesus. Captivating fables gently urge listeners to use their talents to accumulate money, invest a tenth of what’s earned, spend thoughtfully on necessities, save for the future, and avoid risks. A well-crafted analysis explains what separates the ownership class from the class of people who work for others.
We’re reminded also that our place in the pecking order depends on our internal values and the way we manage our money.
The listener should keep in mind that Clason wrote these stories to be published as pamphlets and distributed to bank customers. While the lessons are obviously designed to encourage saving money (thus helping the bank), its lessons are quite valuable and worth learning.
