is the Director of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program at Duke University, where he holds positions in Political Science, Public Policy, and Economics, as well as a Fellowship in the Bass Society. He was in addition for many years the Chairman of the Department of Political Science. His research interests include ideology, the ethics of market exchange, elections, and public policy analysis. In general his work is characterized by a desire to understand as clearly as possible the effect of incentives in human behavior and the ways in which the choices of individuals aggregate into social outcomes. He is a prolific writer, and his book Analyzing Policy: Choices, Conflicts, and Practices is perhaps the best known of his many publications. His interest in the political sphere is by no means theoretical only, most notably demonstrated by his candidacy in 2008 for the position of Governor of North Carolina. Dr Munger is also an Adjunct Scholar at the Cato Institute and a member of the Academic Council of the Jack Miller Center for Teaching America’s Founding Principles and History. He is well known for his spirited defense of those principles and of liberty more generally.
