"The economy" is just the word we use for transacting between one another. Whether individuals, or businesses, or a combination. The economy as it exists in popular culture is just a tool to bludgeon people over the head into acceptance of their pre-determined role/rank in society (and softly "nudge" their decision making in the direction of submission to larger, more wealthy entities/individuals).
