The economy............ are you asking about the methodology or just the economy as it stands as its currently defined?
The economy (in my case speaking of Canada) as is will be fine, individual people might be fucked but the economy is always fine. Business practices need some tweaking. It will rise and fall as always and eventually it will rise too high to too few hands and it will spill over again, as it has every time in history that power/wealth has become too concentrated. Those up top will suffer for being up top at the hands of the bottom, and some of those at the bottom will find themselves up top repeating the cycle all over again. If you're concerned about this eventual outcome don't be, that is how the balance re-adjusts.
I do have to say though that you should not trust in financial experts, or your financial papers, or the so called geniuses, to run your money. The economic geniuses are the fellows who got shouted down when they tried to warn of the recent housing collapse and recession. Those so called experts are the people who put the economy where it is. Your banks are not run by educated, well informed, benevolent people, kid yourself all you want.
Want a simple example of how useless and overpaid many people in finance are?

The monkey stock picker experiment is very common, you can find tons of examples of it and many of them outperform portfolio managers consistently.
In Canada mutual fund management costs range from ~1-4% per year depending on the nature of the fund. These are large funds often in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The companies managing these funds are therefore taking millions of dollars a year to hold onto that money and do.......... nothing of value. In fact more often than not they do worse than an index fund which requires almost no management.
Your economy is fine, but you might want to start enforcing honest business practices and quit bailing out everyone's lunch buddies. I'd be happy to live in a proper capitalist society ruled by free enterprise, but I've yet to see one exist. Much like communism which has never really existed.
