Absolutely brilliant. People seriously underestimate the amount of symbolism in shit. I used to too. I now realize that almost every famous story gets there by having a metric fuckton of symbolism - usually some of it political, often some of it predictive programming, and more often than not some of it is occult.
L Frank Baum on wiki: His works anticipated such later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high-risk and action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of clothes advertising (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
Some of this is just reaching a little bit but Baum genuinely believed he was inspired by God by the symbolism in Oz. The ruby red slippers were originally silver but made red for technicolor. Baum felt fortunate and gracious to have written it with such symbolism.
Sounds like dipshit level "its all connected" conspiracy type crap at first. The more I watch the more sense it made. I think some of it is a big stretch, but most of it fits nicely. Not a bad imparationale message too.
Watch the predictive programming about 9/11 inside the back to the future movies. It seems like a stretch and it keeps adding more and more shit till you go ahhhh shit they have to tell you what they did or the spell doesn't work

Red brick road is the debt road
Yellow brick road is the gold standard road.
Gold is measured in Oz.
The scarecrow represents agriculture sector
Iron man heavy industry
Lion the bank of England (finance)
Etc...
Also it does time perfectly with dark side of the moon, worth doing if you can be bothered and get a little wavey
