University Course Using Reisman and Rand as Texts

National University of La Jolla, CA has a limited number of scholarships available for three online courses that focus on free-market economics and the philosophical foundations of capitalism. These scholarships are being funded by a grant from the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation. The scholarships cover the full tuition for the courses. These courses use Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics by George Reisman, and Ayn Rand’s The Virtue of Selfishness and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal as the required textbooks. These courses can be taken from anywhere in the world, as long as one has access to the internet. The courses incorporate live chat sessions in which the professor and students interact in a virtual classroom, much as they would in a traditional classroom. To obtain more information on these scholarships, please contact Dr. Brian Simpson at bsimpson@nu.edumailto:bsimpson@nu.edu or 858-642-8431.
