the current economy is way too complex for it to be designed, it has been shaped by people, but it's mostly fucking emergent properties, simple interactions lead to complex shit.
I would also argue against it not being a natural phenomenon arguably any civilization that gets anywhere would have some sort of money and a system around it, a.k.a. the economy.
If you put some bacteria in a petri dish, they might even up creating a very complex system... But they'll always be constrained by the petri dish. We can look at the petri dish and say it's having XYZ effect, without necessarily having to get too into the weeds about the complexities of what's happening inside the dish.
