There is an element of gambling to the economy, for sure. That's because there's a bigger element of gambling in the financial system, and that contributes to the economy. (There's also a lot of trading of risk, which isn't the same as taking a risk.) It doesn't follow from that, however, that the economy is based on gambling: there's a lot of other stuff going on, too.
