'die Wirtschaft' and 'die Ökonomie' can both mean the economic system of a country or region. In this sense, they are very similar.

The words can be confusing because in many texts they can mean the same thing. However, you have to pay attention to the context: 'Wirtschaft' can also mean a pub/tavern or household management.
