Economy is just applied psychology.

It really isn’t even that.
The closest historical equivalent of an economic professional is the Haruspex.

You’re all thinking of business. Economics is an empiric field of study that is based on science.

Since when is a Nobel prize winner admitting they were wrong and did not know enough any sort of “proof” that a whole discipline is not real? Get off your high horse…
I studied economics, none of it was purely psychology, and it was quite intense mathematically. It seems people conflate the discipline with business courses and assume it is just buzzwords and wishful thinking. When it is based on empirical data and experiments, just look at fields like how data science is applied or econometrics…
