“not had time to study them well” ... He’s had many decades to study economics and hasn’t.

You seem to have misunderstood the comment. He was addressing a question by someone regarding comments made recently in the US.

“I have heard that some criticisms were made in the United States

When the pope addresses a topic, it is on a global level. We, as Americans, then interpret them locally, in terms of our culture. This often results in a misinterpretation. For example, in addressing abuse of the environment, it is necessary to contrast the situation of starving christians in Syria with those western communities where there is a great waste of food. Again, the pope speaks globally, not locally.

Economics is now also on a global level...and has been for a couple centuries. Economics is the same in Greece, Italy, Argentina, US and Mexico. I was not focused on the country. I was focused on the issue.
