Usage notes
- Use economia for both the academic field and a country's economy; context usually makes the meaning clear.
- For personal thrift, economia often appears in fare economia or in economia, not usually alone as countable 'a saving.'
- Don't confuse economia with risparmio: risparmio is a specific saving or saved money; economia is broader thrift or economic matters.
