In 1926 he published a famous series of pamphlets on saving money and financial success. He delivered his content in the form of parables set in ancient Babylon to make each of his points. Banks and insurance companies began to distribute the parables in large quantities, to teach the benefits of saving and hard work, so they became familiar to millions.
The most famous of them is “The Richest Man in Babylon”, which gave the title to the book that contains the most popular of Clason’s parables.
