It might hint at Hegel's Aufhebung, used as such in English.
For Hegel, history (like logic) proceeds in every small way through sublation. For example, the Oriental, Greek and Roman Empires (in which the individual is ignored or annihilated, then recognized, and finally suppressed by the States) are preserved and destroyed in the German Empire, which, for Hegel, placed the individual in harmony with the State.

Another possible synonym I've come across is "transcended":

but the most accurate term remains "sublated".
It could also be parsed as: "activities, which, as an abstract(ive) whole, constitute the economy".
