The Secret of Oz
It is well known in business economics academia that The Remarkable Wizard of Oz created by L. Frank Baum in 1900 is filled with powerful signs of monetary reform which were the core of the Populist motion and the 1896 as well as 1900 president bid of Democrat William Jennings Bryan. The yellow block road (gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (dollar money), even Dorothy's silver sandals (changed to ruby slippers for the film version) were the icon of Baum's and also Bryan's belief that adding silver coinage to gold would give much required money to a depression-strapped, 1890s America. We believe Baum's signs represent the only solution to eliminate the expanding economic hardship here in America-- and the rest of the world. Practically speaking, 2009 marks the 70th anniversary of the 1939 MGM release of the The Wizard of Oz movie, so passion will be extremely high. Even Oz internet sites put up by children get numerous hits.
