I wish there was some books, lectures, etc. about what makes BND unique and what it does. Can’t find anything.

  Ellen Brown has written about public banks in general, and BND specifically. https://ellenbrown.com/ https://ellenbrown.com/

  Right in the External Links section of TFA. - Bank of North Dakota Documentary, produced by Prairie Public Television https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L75oinBuY1g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L75oinBuY1g - The BND Story: 100 Years, 1919–2019 https://thebndstory.nd.gov/ https://thebndstory.nd.gov/

  There's https://thebndstory.nd.gov/the-early-years/the-birth-of-the-bank/ https://thebndstory.nd.gov/the-early-years/the-birth-of-the-... which clicks through to a decent amount of historical info. But if you're taking about like a modern comparison, yea, probably gotta find an expert in banking regulatory law and ask them. (And if they're not in the Midwest, you might need to ask them to read up and learn first, and then tell you lol)

  Not directly about the bank, but [Insurgent Democracy](https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/I/bo21028306.html https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/I/bo210283...) is a great read. The Non-Partisan League successfully organized rural farmers against corporate power in the 1910s & 20s. Though they only were in power for a decade or so, their legacy is still quite strong. BND, state hail insurance, and a state-run grain mill to name a few!
