This modern edition of The Richest Man in Babylon brings timeless financial wisdom into the language of today. Originally written in 1926 by George S. Clason, the original book used stories from ancient Babylon to teach foundational truths about money, discipline, and building wealth.

While the message has endured, the language often hasn't. That's why this edition-The Richest Man in Babylon: Updated in Modern English for Today's Reader-was carefully adapted and modernized by Marty Hale.

No principles have been added or removed. The aim was simple: to make this classic clearer, more accessible, and more practical for today's readers. Archaic terms have been updated. Long speeches shortened. But the truth remains the same.

These are the same time-tested principles that led ancient merchants, laborers, and leaders to prosperity:

- Spend less than you earn

- Make your money work for you

- Guard your wealth against loss

- Invest in your skills

Whether you're starting your financial journey or rebuilding after setbacks, this book offers a clear path forward-one coin at a time.

Adapted and modernized by Marty Hale
