One Hundred Years Old and Still the Best Money Book You Can Read in an Afternoon
The Richest Man in Babylon turns one hundred this year. George S. Clason wrote it in 1926, when the radio was new and the stock market crash was still three years off, and it has been in print ever since. Not because it is clever, but because it is true in a way that doesn't wear out. A century of money books have come and gone since, most of them longer and most of them worse.
