Free Enterprise Now®

What is Free Enterprise Now®?

Led by Dr. Peter Frank, former Dean at the School of Business at Wingate University and Provost of Grove City College, this unique curriculum allows students and others to learn about our free enterprise system. This is accomplished through short lessons that teach the fundamentals of this system, how to start a business, ethical and leadership training and how government intersects with the free enterprise system.

how can I learn more?

To learn more please visit our Free Enterprise Now® website, freeenterprisenow.org. Our curriculum is funded by private donations because our supporters believe in the free enterprise system and that all students should be given the opportunity to learn why it’s the best economic system worldwide.
