The book "The Richest Man in Babylon" is an unexpected and very pleasant discovery. The book is small in volume, but contains a maximally rich in informativeness concentrate of useful information. Perhaps someone will think that all this is a common truth, long known to all, but it's not for nothing that they say: everything is simple genius. And something tells me that the suggested in the book advice on optimizing financial affairs and resolving debt issues really working, it is only necessary to show diligence and the will to implement them. I also liked the way of presentation of economic strategies in the form of a parable, because in this form the information is not a character of imposing or moralizing and at the same time allows you to understand the essence and better understand it, as in childhood from fairy tales we received the first and perhaps the most important lessons about world. Undoubtedly, I consider this book to be very useful and necessary for every reasonable person who lives in a society and, one way or another, who enters into economic relations on a daily basis. The book will be useful not only for entrepreneurs or those wishing to open their own business, but also for ordinary people. It will help to take a fresh look at the principles of the formation of the home budget, on the issue of loan and debt obligations, on the work of banking and insurance organizations, as well as on such important personal qualities as diligence and perseverance. It is written in a simple but beautiful language, reads easily and with interest. The book does not have to make you a millionaire, but with the proper evaluation and use of the information contained in it, such a development of events can become possible.
