Please consider that "economy" doesn't demand anything - it's people/companies who do, and they usually have a quite selfish attitude (this is not a moral judgement, just a basic observation of facts) which is not necessarily a good thing neither for society nor for themselves. The classic example is the company which pollutes the environment to cut on costs - this results in an immediate gain for shareholders and in a medium to long-term damage/loss for all society (and by definition, for shareholders themselves).
I'll stop here before we drift off-topic, but I think a serious and scientific discussion on the topic of economy and Libre Software (as well as libre content, libre communication, etc, etc) is a thing to do. Most probably it's already being done and I don't know where - any suggestion in this sense is welcome.
