Art of Money Getting
Phineas Taylor Barnum · 1891
74/100
👍 Worth It
A 19th-century classic that still lands — Barnum's maxims on frugality, honest dealing, and hard work hold up better than you'd expect, even if the examples feel like a horse-and-buggy world. It's free, it's short, and it's genuinely a piece of American business history worth an hour of your time.
