James Graves-Barakaat is a Former University Writing Professor, Ex-US Navy Electronics Technician, and Field Engineer. He has spent many years as a technical writer for engineering firms, insurance companies, and investment firms. In his first year of college he took a course in Economics where he recalls the professor stating that "The flow of money creates wealth."

This caused him to be interested in the subject of finance especially when he discovered that most topics of finance were not taught in schools. This caused him to research extensively on the topic of finance and write a series of volumes titled "20 Money-Making Finance Topics Not Taught In Schools."

Each book explains why the topic is important, how investors can get involved, and explains how investors profit by getting involved, and the best Internet websites for more information.
