Review of 'The Richest Man in Babylon' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

For a beginner to savings in personal finance, this book tends to be recommended as the first steps. However, I found the forced fake-old-English style off-putting (and not used consistently either). I'm also saddened that the author didn't look for actual factual knowledge of finance in Babylon ( such as in [b:Debt: The First 5,000 Years|6617037|Debt The First 5,000 Years|David Graeber|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1390408633s/6617037.jpg|6811142] ), instead only learning it was where finance and banking begun- and he invented all the rest to fit his American-centric narrative.

If you're looking for a starter on personal finance, [b:The Simple Path to Wealth: Your road map to financial independence and a rich, free life|30646587|The Simple Path to Wealth Your road map to financial independence and a rich, free life|J.L. Collins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1466299641s/30646587.jpg|51187846] is a much better choice.
