Ellen Brown is an attorney, Chair of the Public Banking Institute, and author of the book "Web of Debt." Precisely because she is not an economist by training, she is able to provide a fresh look at what Main Street businesses and local governments need in order to create jobs and lower financing costs.
In well over 100 articles she has made a strong case for local and state governments to take a public banking approach while providing evidence-based testimony about the highly successful Bank of North Dakota and on other public banks throughout the world.
Ellen Brown has earned the right to give voice to this reform as a part of this Council.
