Stephen Leacock

How to Make a Million Dollars & My Financial Career Stephen Leacock

This is an annotated edition with an additional biography section and an original prelude by J. J. Calvert. Humor is subjective, but at least for many in the CR community, this packs a hilarious punch. Stephen Butler Leacock, born in 1869 and died in 1944, was a Canadian humorist. He was also a professor of political science at McGill University for almost three decades--but he is better remembered as a world famous humorist who could make men and women bend at the waist with laughter whilst reading his nonsensical literature. 'How to Make a Million Dollars' is the sought after insights from a man who has observed how the rich live and how they conduct business. In order to become rich like them, one must only emulate them. Seems simple enough. 'My Financial Career' is the hilarious story of a poor nervous man who decides to join the masses and open a savings and checking account at his local bank. Being new at this transaction, he finds the whole process so nerve wracking, that he ultimately cuts his financial career short. Hope you enjoy this study break
