. The Federal Reserve was not the first national bank in the United States. The First National Bank, brought into
existence by Congress in 1791, and architected by the United States’ first secretary of the treasury, Alexander
Hamilton, was far more limited in scope and President Andrew Jackson ultimately dismantled its successor, the
Second National Bank, in 1836.

73
. The digital revolution has moved on to “the second half of the chessboard”—a
clever phrase coined by the
American inventor and author Ray Kurzweil. He tells a story of the emperor of China being so delighted with
the game of chess that he offered the game’s inventor any reward he desired. The inventor asked for rice. “I
would like one grain of rice on the first square of the chessboard, two grains of rice on the second square, four
grains of rice on the third square, and so on, all the way to the last square,” he said. Thinking this would add up
to a couple bags of rice, the emperor happily agreed. He was misguided. While small at the outset,
the amount of
rice escalates to more than two billion grains halfway through the chessboard. The final square would require
nine billion billion grains of rice—enough to cover all of Earth.
