Your definition is inconsistent with the original criticism, while is that the characters aside from the Demon King do not have awareness of economies. Awareness of things outside the country implies very little knowledge about economies as a whole, i.e. little correlation with macroeconomics. Note
kuromitsu's post, which first referred to the "greater picture": "War is good; war is money" is directed toward a sector of the economy, not domestic vs international markets.

I may have unintentionally refer to macroeconomics in my posts, but the point is only to proof that not everyone else is an idiot in terms of economy at the basic level at least. The Central Merchants and the Southern Kings awareness of the economic benefit of war is already enough proof for me regardless of it being macroeconomics or not.

You did not explicitly use the term macroeconomics, but of course, the study of economies is macroeconomics by definition, so any knowledge of how economies work would imply some knowledge of macroeconomics, even if the knowledge not expressed in a rigorous manner. I have already pointed out that being able to perceive the consequences of the operations of economies does not imply knowledge of macroeconomics.
