Ellen Brown is an attorney and the President of the Public Banking Institute, a non-profit founded in 2011 that seeks to establish a distributed network of state and local publicly-owned banks that create affordable credit while providing a sustainable alternative to the current high-risk centralized private banking system. In Web of Debt, her latest of eleven books, Ellen argues that a private cartel has usurped the power to create money from the people themselves and that the people can get it back. publicbankinginstitute.org, webofdept.com, ellenbrown.com
