Playing Chapel is economy like Royal Carriage is; it increases the number of coin you have on future turns.

How many times have you opened Village/Chapel and hit $5?

If you only use Chapel to trash Estates, then you’ll hit $5 plenty. Anyway, you can use whatever term you feel like, but it sounds like I’m not alone in assuming that “economy” actually has to do with how much stuff your deck can afford, rather than how likely it is to hit a particular number that happens to be a number that has a lot of strong cards with that cost.

You don't get the benefit of Estate trashing from Chapel until after a few reshuffles, and due to inflation, just buying Treasure would probably be better economy. Trashing an Estate before the first reshuffle with Cathedral or Plan, however, is extremely good for economy.
How much stuff your deck can afford is more in the payload territory, and irrelevant until you're actually drawing your entire deck.
