I would think that “Economy” would be in the next layer after safety, in “social needs”, but you DO have a point.

I think economics are entirely outside the pyramid...look at the pyramid as the order in which you would use your money (or economy) to meet your needs.

First, you buy your food. Then safety. Without those, you don't hit the bar and socialize. Etc.
