The Secret of Oz- It is well known in economics academia that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum in 1900 is loaded with powerful symbols of monetary reform which were the core of the Populist movement and the 1896 and 1900 president bid of Democrat William Jennings Bryan. The yellow brick road (gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (greenback money), even Dorothys silver slippers (changed to ruby slippers for the movie version) were the symbol of Baums and Bryans belief that adding silver coinage to gold would provide much needed money to a depression-strapped, 1890s America.
