Season 2, Episode 10 of TALK JAM is devoted to a most interesting discussion involving THE WIZARD OF OZ and whether it could be an allegory for one of the hottest political issues of the 19th century.

Our political talk episode features our most important discussion to date: Defining national sovereignty and globalism, how the two are intertwined and what they mean in the conflict currently raging around the planet. 

Our second topic today deals with the book version of the classic story, THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ, published in 1900 by L. Frank Baum. At the time, there was raging controversy over the topic of bi-metallism--having our fiat (paper) currency backed by TWO metals, gold and silver, instead of just gold. Find out what it means (I've never heard of it) and how President McKinley's decision to back the gold standard alone may have led to his assassination in 1901. Learn also how L. Frank Baum's classic novel could be a metaphor for all the people involved in this crucial monetary argument, and how the classic play INHERIT THE WIND, about the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925, is connected...
