Celebrated Economist Gregory A. Thomas Announces New Book:

CANON CITY, Colo. - April 30, 2025 - PRLog -- Dr. Gregory A. Thomas, acclaimed entrepreneur, hedge fund manager, and educator, announces the release of his much-anticipated new book, Investing for Beginners: Diversifying is a Must. Drawing from his decades of experience in finance and his pioneering work within the Colorado Department of Corrections, Dr. Thomas is on a mission to make investing accessible and achievable for everyone—especially those most often left out of the conversation.

Dr. Thomas, whose credentials include a doctorate in economics, an MBA, and dual bachelor's degrees in political science and marketing, has not only built multi-million-dollar businesses but has also dedicated his life to financial education and social justice. Over the past several years, he has volunteered as a financial literacy instructor for incarcerated men and women in Colorado's prison system, teaching practical money management, investment fundamentals, and strategies for building a brighter financial future after release.

"We know that economic insecurity is a major barrier to successful reentry and lasting change," Dr. Thomas says. "When we empower people with financial knowledge and real-world tools—whether they're inside or outside of prison walls—we create pathways to dignity, opportunity, and generational wealth."

Investing for Beginners: Diversifying is a Must breaks down complex financial concepts into accessible, actionable guidance. The comprehensive book covers everything from stocks, bonds, real estate, and retirement planning to the psychology of investing and strategies for building wealth in any economic climate. Each chapter includes step-by-step checklists, practical exercises, and relatable case studies, reflecting Dr. Thomas's real-world experience as both an investor and a teacher behind bars.

A Transformational Program in Colorado's Prisons

In his volunteer role, Dr. Thomas has developed and delivered one of the state's most innovative financial literacy programs for inmates. His workshops have reached hundreds of men and women across multiple correctional facilities, focusing on topics like budgeting, investing, credit management, and entrepreneurship. Feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive:

"Dr. Thomas taught me how to see myself as more than just an inmate. Now I have a plan for my future and the tools to succeed financially," said one program graduate.

By empowering participants with the knowledge and confidence to open bank accounts, build credit, and invest for long-term security—even while incarcerated—Dr. Thomas is helping to break the cycle of poverty and recidivism.

Dr. Thomas is a sought-after speaker, mentor, and thought leader in the fields of finance, entrepreneurship, and social justice.

Investing for Beginners: Diversifying is a Must will be available in print and e-book formats in May 2025.
