W 1926 roku George S. Clason opublikował pierwszą z serii broszur poświęconych oszczędzaniu, które najpewniejszą drogą prowadzą do sukcesu finansowego.
Książka już ponad 100 lat i jest klasyką literatury biznesu. Autor, George S. Clason.

Książka opisuje rady w formie przypowieści ze antycznym Babilonie. Ważne jest to, że rady są uniwersalne! Moim zdaniem każdy może ją przeczytać jest napisana lekkim piórem.

Clason’s use of memorable parables drives home his commandments about prudential judgments with money. I can see why this has become a classic for those trying to build wealth, get out of debt, free themselves financially, and help others do the same. Clason’s advice is effective and insightful.
