It'd be more correct saying that evolution can be explained with economic formulas.

Saying stuff like

> Let's not overlook that evolution is an economic process.

> If the economic formula ever changed where dying put them at a disadvantage, then the evolution engine would kick into high gear.

makes it sound like economists could explain and predict evolution, while in reality they struggle to even predict the next financial crisis, or deal with inflation and unemployment.
