The Free Enterprise Institute (FEI) was founded in 1961 by astrophysicist Andrew J. Galambos (AJG) as a private teaching and research institution.

V-50 The Science of Volition – The basic course of the volitional sciences; originally developed by A. J. Galambos as Course 100 (first presented in 1961), V-50 contains subsequent refinements that are prerequisite concepts for V-201. V-50 provides an overview of the problems that destabilize human civilization, and develops the general specifications for a solution to those problems.

Availability: Currently available as V-50DD via digital distribution by online subscription.

Please see the V-50 course information page for course details and enrollment information.

“If I have seen farther than others it is because I
have stood on the shoulders of giants.”
