Money-making men; or, how to grow rich
Transcribed from the [1886] Brain and Co. edition by David Price
"Money-making Men; or, How to Grow Rich" by J. Ewing Ritchie is an instructive non-fiction work written during the late 19th century. The text explores the characteristics and experiences of individuals who have amassed wealth, particularly in the bustling environment of London. Through various anecdotes and examples, it delves into the principles of success in financial endeavors and what distinguishes the successful money-maker from the unsuccessful. At the start of the book, Ritchie describes the mercenary nature of City life, illustrating that many come to London driven solely by the desire to accumulate wealth. He shares stories of both fortunate and unfortunate individuals, highlighting their varied paths to success or failure. Notably, he discusses the importance of diligence, integrity, and simple yet effective business principles, drawing upon historical figures such as Rothschild and Morrison, and contrasting them with the failings of some who pursue wealth unethically or with blind ambition. The opening sets the tone for a thorough examination of the art and craft of money-making, establishing both a motivational and cautionary narrative for aspiring entrepreneurs.
