I know i'm a noob but is wealth and economy something that existed before man or is all of its rules made up by man and not some divine being inherent in the world?

I just hear talk about the economy in the same way scientists talk about how we're destroying the environment.

The economy isn't a natural entity but rather a system that only works when all parties agree to how it works.

Credit is made up, money is made up, it's all made up.

Then again, what do I know?
