Reminds me of an old Donald Duck-Uncle Scrooge comic book from around 1960 in which they find, hiding behind the moon, a solid gold mini-moon. And the race is on.

Drill down and build an underground space station. Then build a a giant rail gun that shoots cargo to and fro.

It won't destroy the word economy, it will add to it.
Or the Solar System's economy, once we get there.

While obviously we cannot get at it now, that seems useful in the future assuming we have some energy breakthrough. 200 km of metal OUTSIDE of the gravity well.

The apocalyptic economic claims about the asteroid are the height of stupidity.
The “wealth” contained in the asteroid would, if it could be exploited, take probably more than a century to be gradually obtained and made use of, and thus making only a small annual contribution to the global economy.
