That's not even the point. There was likely a form of economics even in the Stone Age. Humans are social creatures. I'm guessing trading and some kind of division of labour was a part of that society.
An economy is basically the existence of a form of trade or a place of exchange. If you don't want to be a part of an economy, you must live as a self-supported hermit.
