I really like this picture. It's like meant to illustrate evil bad people thinking about "the economy" instead of people.
So just think of "the economy" as all activity that delivers food, shelter, energy, medical equipment, means of communication, transportation, well, basically everything. Now I see. Yeah, no biggie.

*Well, to ne honest, I am studying an economy school, and there is so many unsaid assumptions from every single teacher, that I am not that surprised noone can even communicate about the economy anymore.
Simply said, even here, every teacher sees the economy differently.
That being said, it gets even more ridiculous from here. The moment you start studying the moments when "it's beneficial to take a loan when everything goes according to plan" you realize that there is serious thing missing in the sylabus...
WHEN EVERYTHING GOES ACCORDING TO THE PLAN??? REALLY???
