Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward composition of 'economic' (relating to the economy) + 'system' (a set or arrangement), so its meaning as the organization of economic activities is directly inferable. This adjective+noun pattern is productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The phrase economic system combines economic, meaning about 'money', 'trade' and work, and system, meaning a group of parts that work together, to paint a picture of farms, factories, shops and markets all linked to move goods. So, it means the organized way a country produces, shares and uses goods and services.
