And note Paul's word which I quoted: "each of you should set aside a portion of income" for the poor of Jerusalem. Not just those who are bankers and lawyers and such, should set a portion aside, but everyone.
Well, that would definitely be part of God's economy. And if someone had tried to define it to not be a part, then it clearly should be included.
