		Under Nicholas Biddle, he writes confidently, "the Bank of the United States was perfectly well-managed." Thanks to Biddle's expertise, the Bank not only checked irresponsible state bankers, it "contribute[d] to the democratization of American society by extending credit to the yeomanry of the country." Jackson understood none of this.
		Biddle did a creative and credible job of restraining the state banks, but his autocratic management of the Bank was anything but perfect.
		Biddle was a much better banker--but his unreformed national bank, with its virtually total control over the nation's currency and credit, remained a menace.

		In that instant of maximum tension between an embryonic financial capitalism and a populist republic struggling to emerge, the Prussian system of pedagogy came to seem perfectly sensible to men of means and ambition.
