D&D General Are goblins the backbone of the economy?

It's cute OP thinks there is an economy with actual underpinnings.

The degree to which there is differs from setting to setting. Some people have settings that are 40 years old where we've had time to think about how the economy works and what happens when you have a massive influx of gold from a dragon hoard, or a tyrant's coffers are thrown open for the people to claim. Nobody thinks through all the details - but the number of details considered differs greatly across campaigns I have seen.

And also in D&D!

We can't talk about economy without talking about simulation and that way lies madness
