The Wizard of Oz is known to be an allegory about the monetary policy at the end of the 19th century in the United States. The yellow brick road represents the gold standard, the silver slippers (changed to ruby in the movie) represent unlimited coinage of silver, and the Wizard represents politicians who manipulate the monetary system.
