Recently, I have been revisiting a book I have read many times, The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason.  
Even if you haven't read it, chances are you have at least heard of it.
Published in 1926, it is a series of stories set in ancient Babylon designed to illustrate the basic economic principles people need to follow in order to gain and maintain wealth.
Ninety years on, to what extent are its messages still relevant? 

Over the coming posts, I'm going to examine the arguments set out in this book and discuss their relevance to modern times, sharing some of my own philosophy on wealth acquisition and maintenance.
