About the Author
Roger Ward Babson was about just around forty when he wrote this book, but he proved he knew what he was talking about by living another 52 years.
One of the businesses he founded is still operating, and still has his name on it. Not many businesses started over one hundred years ago can say the same.
One of the schools he founded, Babson College, also still exists.
He pioneered the field of economic analysis and forecasting. The statistical organization he founded still exists. He also founded one of the longest running investments newsletters. It stopped publication only a few years ago, and only because the company decided to keep all their information private.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between wealth, its accumulation, and its impact on individuals and society. The author delves into the motivations behind the pursuit of wealth, examining the allure of power and influence, the desire to secure a comfortable life for oneself and oneââ â¢s family, and the drive to leave a legacy through charitable endeavors. The author also probes the psychological effects of wealth, arguing that while riches are not inherently wrong, they can become a dangerous obsession that can lead to the neglect of personal relationships, health, and true happiness. The book is rooted in a historical context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time marked by rapid industrialization and burgeoning wealth, leading to a growing gap between the rich and the poor. The author draws upon insights from various thinkers, including religious figures and economists, to provide a nuanced perspective on the nature of wealth and its role in society. The author emphasizes the importance of a balanced perspective, urging readers to recognize that while material wealth has its uses, it should not be the sole focus of one's life. The book ultimately underscores the significance of investing in enduring values, such as personal relationships, community service, and spiritual growth, as the true sources of lasting fulfillment and well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330199541_0
