Rand To The Rescue

by digby

As you know, I’ve been extremely dismissive of the value of the allegedly great American novel “Atlas Shrugged” and think it is one of the most pernicious, subliminal influences on our culture’s view of government, freedom and capitalism of the past half century. Imagine how thrilled I was to find out that big corporations are endowing universities now with big bucks, asking only one thing in return: they have to teach Rand to business students.

There is so much wrong with that it’s hard to sort it all out. I write a bit about it over at CAF today and pose an important question. I’ll be anxious to hear your answers. It’s not impossible that we could actually do a little something along these lines.
