Guilford College has received a $500,000 grant from BB&T to support programs exploring the ethics of capitalism, according to an announcement. The gift is the latest from the Winston-Salem bank to colleges around the country for programs centered on morality and ethics in capitalist society. [....] The grants typically encourage the study of the writings of Ayn Rand, a free-market philosopher who is greatly admired by BB&T Chairman John Allison. At Guilford College, students will read and discuss Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged as well as works by John Maynard Keynes, Paul Krugman and others as part of a new “The Moral Foundations of Capitalism” course.
