It's not... I was thinking of planned and market as tier 1 techs.
I'd put Interstellar Trade and Galactic Monetary Policy in the begining
I was thinking these would be at least tier 2 or tier 3... My plan was to have the 1st tier techs be more focused on development of the economies of single planets, have 2nd tier be interplanetary empire economics and internal trade, and have 3rd, 4th and above tiers be galactic interempire trade, monetary policy and powerful ways to bring down or control other empires economies / defend your own economy, promoting and controlling limitless growth in a whole galaxy, etc. So Interstellar Trade and Galactic Monetary Policy would be tier 2 or 3 probably. Planned / Market economics are things that can be developed and applied to a single planet, so I'd put them at the start.
Here's the first draft Economics theory tree trunk.
Somewhat fewer techs than the other categories so far, but I'm not sure what else to add. I suppose all categories don't need to be equal in size anyway... And these are just the theories anyway... Economics might have more applications to compensate.
Edit: due to Economic Fluidity (EF) requiring Interstellar Co-Production, which itself requires Interstellar Trade (IT), EF directly requiring IT is redundant.

Economic Hegemony is about spreading your influence and controlling or destroying other empires' planets and trade by controlling their economies. That would likely not involve making everything free...
Tech: True Communism
Description: The ultimate combination of market economy and planned economy eliminates the motivation for underproduction.
Effects: Great bonuses to happiness and money production.
I'm just starting a class about poverty and economic development. It's basically talking about helping close the gap between the poor and the rich. I thought It could make an interesting addition to the Econ tech.
Tech: Economic Development
Prereq: None (Or Interstellar trade?)
Effects: -2 to current wealth, , -1 to current production, +1 to max wealth, +1 to current happiness, +1 to max happiness
Description: The wealthier planets assist the poorer planets in economic development. This comes with a cost, as weathier planets could find other uses for their production and money. In the end, however, the empire recieves more in return.
If that seems too powerful, another possibility would be to have some or all of the following as prerequisites:
Metroplex Infastructure?
Industrial Farming
Medical Pathology
(health, agricultural modernization, transport, communications, and industry all are important. feel free to suggest more/different prerequisites.)

"Economic Development" is too broad a term for a tech... it could refer to almost any tech in the Economics category. What you describe sounds more like "Equalization" or "Redistribution".
okay, fair enough. It is a broad idea. It's not socialism though, it's giving the developing world a better chance to catch up with the developed world--the developing parts of our world include Latin America, Africa, and parts of Asia.
What about...
Intra-Empire Investment
Intra-Empire Aid
