Dr. Jennis Biser, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics and Finance, at North Carolina A&T, will keynote the annual Milton Friedman Legacy event, speaking on "Milton Friedman and the Public Choice Revolution." As she explains: "Milton Friedman reformulated the case for capitalism and individual freedom in a series of challenges to mainstream economics. In so doing, he laid the foundation for the analysis of political market failure and the Public Choice research program."

Her dissertation explored the United States Supreme Court and its regulatory takings judgments from 1905 to 2005. She is the co-author, with Charles Rowley, of analytical articles on the Israeli-Palestinian land conflict.
Dr. Biser gained research experience as a McNair Scholar and Bradley Foundation Fellow. She worked with top scholars at the Center for Study of Public Choice and the James Buchanan House.
