"Hi, Morpheus here with your RED PILL: the Wizard of Oz is about economics.
Boom"

The Morpheus and red pill bits are a Matrix reference. The movie 'The Matrix':

iMDB:

Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

The Oz reference is just that. The book 'The Wizard of Oz' was about the Gold Standard:

According to this view, for instance, the "Yellow Brick Road" represents the gold standard, and the silver slippers (ruby in the 1939 film version) represent the Silverite sixteen to one silver ratio (dancing down the road).
