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

Not directly about the bank, but [Insurgent Democracy](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!

Great book.

There's 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)
