What if your city could borrow money from its own bank instead of private lenders? TED Fellow Trinity Tran is leading the push for public banks — which are owned by the people through their local governments — and shows how this model could ensure your local tax dollars stay in your community.
(Following the talk, Lily James Olds, director of the TED Fellows program, interviews Tran on how a public bank works and why it’s an ideal solution to reinvesting funds into local communities.)
