Still does a good job at arguing his point that a publicly owned money system managed by an elected accountable government is the best possible monetary solution. Even if I don't necessarily agree with him (I do think its better than the other options he cited like the current Federal Reserve System or a Gold Standard system) I would prefer competitive currently like Bitcoin and Litecoin, or de-centralized labor exchange after wage abolition.
He doesn't do a great job of explaining his position why the Roman Copper coins or a silver standard are significantly better than a gold standard. And his calling out of symbolism within the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while interesting, (particularly the history of Frank Baum's private life working for various newspapers during the progressive era) I think is shaky at best. Still is at least honest that Barum had denied that such symbolism was ever meant. I'm not really sure why he thought such symbolism would be helpful in telling this story 100 years after the book's release. ( )
