BB&T Center for the Study of the Moral Foundations of Capitalism

Welcome to the BB&T Center for the Study of Moral Foundations of Capitalism

Founded in the Fall of 2010 with a generous grant from the BB&T Foundation, the BB&T Center for the Study of the Moral Foundations of Capitalism advances current dialogue in business ethics, the role of the public sector in a capitalist economy, and the vibrancy of free market capitalism.  The Center is located in the Richard J. Bolte, Sr. School of Business at Mount St. Mary’s University and promotes student, faculty, community, and corporate discussions about the political, social, and economic strengths and challenges inherent in capitalism. 

We appreciate our partnership with BB&T and expanding upon our discussions about ethical practices in business, the role of the public sector in markets, and the moral foundations of our capitalistic economic system.   Dr. Karl Einolf, BB&T Scholar The Richard J. Bolte, Sr. School of Business is proud to be affiliated with BB&T, and we are grateful for their financial support.  The generous grant will enrich classroom discussion on the moral foundations of capitalism and to engage the broader community in conversation about the nature of free markets and individual and corporate responsibility. Dr. William G. Forgang, Dean Richard J. Bolte, Sr. School of Business
