It's not clear what you mean by "natural" here. I tend to use the word
"natural" to refer to what happens if there's no human intervention,
which is clearly not what you mean. perhaps you could define your terms.

Incidentally, as an economist, I'd categorise a market economy as
neither man-made not natural, but an unattainable ideal. But then I'm a
vulgar empiricist,
