1/5 Given the econ upheaval of late, it’s interesting to note The Wizard of Oz was seen as a populist critique of the 19th Century monetary order. Basically, a story about working Americans fighting against the shenanigans of Euro central bankers. The people’s money at the time, silver, versus the gold standard.
