The Gus A. Stavros Center for the Advancement of Free Enterprise and Economic Education at Florida State University is pleased to offer these resources. They were created by Teaching Professor Joe Calhoun.

The captions were created by a computer program so sometimes they may be inaccurate or contain spelling or grammatical errors.

The videos should not be downloaded or distributed beyond this site.
