FEE’S MOST POPULAR PROGRAMS
Our top-requested talks. Each option is available in English and Spanish.
BASIC
The Wonders of Human Cooperation
Explore the limits of human knowledge by beginning with Leonard Read’s classic essay,
“I, Pencil.” Students are prompted to think about centralized vs. decentralized approaches to solving complex problems.
What You Need to Know About Money Before 20
This program introduces students to important financial topics that will help them understand how to plan for their future, how to think about their studies, and how to choose a career.
What You Need to Know about Business Before 20
This program is a practical introduction to entrepreneurship designed to help students understand how businesses form and succeed in a free-market economy.
INTERMEDIATE
The Five Most Important Economic Ideas and How Each One Leads to Freedom
This talk integrates the ideas of opportunity costs, self-interest, comparative advantage, and the role of prices and institutions to illustrate how all of them point in the direction of individual freedom.
Personal Finance, Getting Rich, and Saving the World Without Really Trying
In his 1760 sermon on “The Use of Money,” John Wesley told his hearers to “Gain all you can,” “Save all you can,” and “Give all you can.” This session explains how to manage one’s own finances prudently and explores how doing so creates benefits for everyone.
Competition and Entrepreneurship
This program addresses the source of competition as scarcity. Entrepreneurs often compete very rigorously for profits, but the most powerful person in the market economy is the consumer.
ADVANCED
Business Cycles and the Current Economic Crisis
What is real economic growth? Can governments really stimulate growth, or is it all counterproductive? After presenting a simple version of the Austrian Business Cycle Theory, the lecture examines what actually happened in the recession and housing crisis of 2007-2009.
Cryptocurrency
This program explores how cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin work, why they have value, and how they can solve some of the problems traditional money solves.
Supply Chain Game
Students play the Supply Chain Game (a competitive simulation of a commodity supply chain) and afterward discuss results and strategy.
