The analogy of a market economy to a complex ecosystem, such as a rainforest or coral reef, is tempting, but it soon breaks down. The biological and physical units and forces in a natural ecosytem are random and chaotic, but in aggregate follow statistical behaviors that eventually lead to some form of equilibrium.
Markets are controlled by human beings who are well aware of market forces and laws and are doing their best to work around them, if not subvert them altogether; using human intelligence and by forming alliances and initiating conflict. A market more resembles a rainforest invaded by settlers; building cities, clearing land, damming rivers, and strip mining. Or if you prefer, a coral reef being dredged into a port/shipyard complex. Sure, market forces may still be at work, but as the exploiters become more skilled and more numerous, they can usually find ways to get around them. The health of this system is not defined by equilibrium, but by growth. As long as the surrounding sea or forest is substantially larger than the human development, the resources for further growth are available.
Eventually, however, the market/ecosystem does triumph, and the whole system collapses, poisoned by its own wastes and by the consumption of the true natural resources on which the entire structure ultimately depends.
