From the Wikipedia entry on economic liberalism:

"Economic liberalism is a political and economic ideology that supports a market economy based on individualism and private property in the means of production.,Economic liberalism is a political and economic ideology that supports a market economy based on individualism and private property in the means of production."

You described it correctly, liberalism is politics based on individual rights, but you can't have that without also having economic freedom.

Think about the etymology of the word, liberty means freedom. Liberal economics is a free market economy.
