First published in 1880 by P.T. Barnum, The Art of Money Getting is a short book encouraging the general public to aspire to wealth through proper economic means: building a savings, collecting on interest, operating business with integrity, learning the true value of money, working for what you earn, and foregoing extravagances in order to live a more modest lifestyle where saving money is the goal. Based on P.T. Barnum's own experiences as a showman and businessman, he outlines a way of life rather than a get-rich-quick scheme. Despite its 19th-century publication date, his advice is remarkably relevant, and will be of interest to young and old readers alike who desire to be more responsible with their finances.

Phineas Taylor Barnum (July 5, 1810 - April 7, 1891) was an American showman, businessman, scam artist and entertainer, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money. In this comparatively new field there are so many avenues of success open, so many vocations which are not crowded, that any person of either sex who is willing, at least for the time being, to engage in any respectable occupation that offers, may find lucrative employment. Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. The road to wealth is, as Dr. Franklin truly says, "as plain as the road to the mill." It consists simply in expending less than we earn; that seems to be a very simple problem. Mr. Micawber, one of those happy creations of the genial Dickens, puts the case in a strong light when he says that to have annual income of twenty pounds per annum, and spend twenty pounds and sixpence, is to be the most miserable of men; whereas, to have an income of only twenty pounds, and spend but nineteen pounds and sixpence is to be the happiest of mortals. Many of my readers may say, "we understand this: this is economy, and we know economy is wealth; we know we can't eat our cake and keep it also." Yet I beg to say that perhaps more cases of failure arise from mistakes on this point than almost any other. The fact is, many people think they understand economy when they really do not.

Der Weg zum Reichtum ist, wie einer der Gr nderv ter der Vereinigten Staaten sagt, "so klar wie der Weg zur M hle". Es besteht einfach darin, weniger auszugeben, als wir verdienen; das scheint ein sehr einfaches Problem zu sein. Wahre Wirtschaft wird dennoch oft falsch verstanden, und die Menschen gehen durchs Leben, ohne richtig zu verstehen, was dieses Prinzip ausmacht. Es gibt Menschen, die denken, dass die Wirtschaft darin besteht, K sest ckchen und Kerzenstummel zu sparen, zwei Pence von der Rechnung der Waschfrau abzuschneiden und alle m glichen kleinen, gemeinen und schmutzigen Dinge zu tun. Wirtschaft ist keine Gemeinheit. Was wahre Wirtschaft in Wirklichkeit ist, dar ber schreibt der ber hmte Schausteller und Politiker P. T. Barnum in diesem Buch und stellt die heute immer noch g ltigen Regeln auf, deren Befolgung zu Wohlstand und Reichtum f hren.
