Fundamentals of Prosperity
Roger Babson
Read by Phil Chenevert
What these principles are and whence they come to us. "The fact is, we have become crazy over material things. We are looking only at the structure above ground. We are trying to get more smoke from the chimney. We are looking at space instead of service, at profits instead of volume. With our eyes focused on the structure above ground, we have lost sight of those human resources, thrift, imagination, integrity, vision and faith which make the structure possible. I feel that only by the business men can this foundation be strengthened before the inevitable fall comes." (from the preface) (1 hr 20 min)

Reviews
excellent book, mostly related to the congruency of faith and fortune.
Rush Hamden
Read very well and very clearly. Excellent text, although, very dated, not at all universal ecumenical. And mostly talks about males rather than females, a little bit condescending, but the financial content is sound.
Loved This Book!

Fantastic experience. The content and perspective will leave me pondering for days. I thoroughly enjoyed the reader, very smooth. I will be looking for more books read by him as well. Highly recommend.
Loved the book!

Old but good old fashion.

Is worth revisiting the real fundamentals of prosperity. They are more spiritual than material.
worth my time

an interesting analysis, tieing the aserted factors of prosperity to culture, and therefore religion.
