Thrift is the answer for company in money trouble (7)

I believe the answer is:

economy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'thrift' is the definition.
(I know that economy is a type of thrift)

'company in money trouble' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'money' is an anagram of 'enomy'.
'co' inserted inside 'enomy' is 'ECONOMY'.

'is the answer for' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for economy that I've seen before include "Country's financial state" , "being frugal" , "Country's system of wealth creation" , "Judicious expenditure of money" , "Efficient use of resources" .)
