I always thought that the economy depends on how money is used and how much it is used in local production, etc. After all, an effective economy is when people use money to develop various industries (food industry, scientific discoveries, medicine, etc.). After all, money is just a measure of the cost of various services, products, etc. A rich country is not one where there is a lot of money, but one where people live happily. And it doesn't depend on money (just indirectly), because it depends only on actions in different areas of life, and on what you do yourself (and how much and how well you do it).
