If you’re wondering why a college economics professor would criticize someone for raising the debt ceiling, it’s because Brat is what we’d call a “special” economics professor. He’s the director of something called the “BB&T Moral Foundations of Capitalism” at Randolph-Macon College, funded by a rich nutter who doesn’t think the kids are reading enough Ayn Rand these days.

    His research includes “God and Advanced Mammon – Can Theological Types Handle Usury and Capitalism?” I seem to remember Ayn Rand not thinking highly of religion.

    I also notice that Brat teaches Business Ethics. Given his interest in Rand, I wonder if the class is simply “Go read “Atlas Shrugged” and remember that profit is ethics”.
