Economic pack


The Internet is the global platform for commerce and the free exchange of ideas. The leaders of the digital economy include America's biggest employers. And it is increasingly clear that leading the digital economy will be the only way to keep America ahead of the economic pack.
This is from USAtoday.

Is it okay if I replace "economic pack" with "economy"? Any connotation changes?

Thanks!
