I actually learned something today. You all might already know this but I had never heard this before. The Wizard of OZ was a political book to trash the greenback and promote gold and silver. In the book Dorthy's slippers were made of silver. They followed the yellow brick road (gold) to the emerald city. The emerald city represents the dollar. The scene where the guy is caught behind the curtain is symbolic for how the dollar is manipulated. The guy (I can't remember his name) stands for the robber barrons. When Dorthy first lands in OZ she kills the wicked witch of the east, who represents Wall Street. The good witch of the south represents southerners. Success can be found when Dorthy, who represents the midwest and traditional values, and the good witch of the south team up against the wicked witch of the west, who represents western progressive policies. These progressive policies were pushing for the implementation of the greenback. OZ stands for ounce as in an ounce of gold or silver. The munchins stand for average citizens. I had never heard this before and thought some of you might be interested.
