Read it:

The United States, 1958 to 2021. A credit card begins as a piece of paper a single bank mails unasked to strangers in Fresno and ends as a message crossing four institutions in under two seconds. Dee Hock takes a franchise program that is losing money and drowning in paper and turns it into a corporation none of its owners control. Max Levchin builds a way to move money between two strangers who have only an email address, and spends four years fighting the people stealing it. Jim McKelvey loses a two-thousand-dollar sale because he cannot take a card. Patrick and John Collison decide the hardest part is the seven lines of code. Each is told the network already exists. Covers Dee Hock, Max Levchin, Jim McKelvey, Patrick Collison, John Collison, Bank of America, National BankAmericard Inc., Confinity, X.com, and PayPal.
