How can Public Banks in the Global South strengthen democracy and governance? Thomas Marois, a global expert on public banks and a political economy specialist, draws from his background working with numerous public financial institutions around the globe. Marois, a recent Reader in Development Studies at SOAS University of London and a Professor in Political Science at McMaster University, where he is working towards creating a new global center for public banking, explains how public banks can and are already helping countries around the world, notably in Vietnam, achieve their sustainability goals.
