The Richest Man in Babylon is written for people who are struggling financially or those who are finding themselves stuck in financial plateau in life until they are forty or fifty, or those who are looking forward into building a financial empire or planning to be financially free sooner than the normal retirement of sixty-five.
Some of the great lessons or truths that can be learned in the book are the value and power of work, the seven cures of a lean purse and the five laws of gold. (During those times, they didn’t have wallets or cards but only purse and their means of payments are silver and gold.)
