- Abstract
The book Lao Zi contains rich thoughts of wealth. “Inaction” or “doing noting” is the theoretical basis of its wealth thought. Lao Zi advocates the wealth concept of “a contented man is rich”, the wealth creation of “self-enrichment”, the wealth management of “when a hall is full of gold and jade, nobody can keep them long”, the wealth consumption of “thrifty”, and the important principle of wealth distribution of “giving to one who already has more than enough by taking from one who is in want”. These six aspects constitute the wealth ideology of Lao Zi.
