The main thing to know about the economy in this book is that it is completely controlled by the government and is really pretty much a communist economy.
The major thing that shows us that this is true is the way people get their careers. They are watched by the government and then assigned to a career that seems like it would be good for them. This is a really serious sign of government control of the economy.
In addition, there does not appear to be any money in the economy. Everyone is equal and no one seems to need money. (If you search the text on Google books you'll find that the word "money" never appears and "pay" only appears along with "attention.") This is similar to what communism was supposed to be like.
So, the economy in the community is totally and strictly controlled by the government.
