I would tweek it so you can maybe talk about economics-related maths! I had applied to 5 different courses - all medical related - the range were Natural Science, Pathobiology, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Medical Science - and I got 5 offers 
What I did was I tweeked it very finely so it talked about all those subjects, but I targetted a little bit at Pharmacology cus I thought I *might* want to do it at uni. I couldn't make up my mind as you may've gathered. My only rejection was Cambridge and that was cus I failed miserably at my interview - was too nervous my head went blank. Got offers from Bristol, Nottingham, Reading, Manchester and Leeds - so they're respectable unis
Just target it at more economics if that's what you might wanna do most - or if you wanna get into Cambridge maybe to do econ.
Btw I don't think Cambridge bothers much about your personal statement anyway - just make sure your admissions tests/essays are good and you star at the interview, and you get the grades at AS and A2. The interview is what you need to worry about. Read round the subject - tis why I failed I didn't recap on my AS!!! - and don't worry too much about your PS.
