All of the Free Enterprise Institute™ (FEI) courses were originally offered in live presentations by Andrew J. Galambos (AJG) and other faculty members from 1961 through 1987. Subsequent offerings of most courses were presented via audiotape copies of the original lectures with supporting visual aids. Following the cessation of live course presentations in 1987, FEI’s courses were available only through a limited number of tape course contractors.

Now, the trustees of AJG’s natural estate trust have expanded the Free Enterprise Institute™ as a mechanism for the proprietary distribution of his ideas through streamed digital content, and via other distribution media.
