Hi, the economy is explained in detail in the whitepaper. A short and comprehensive summary can be found under the pitch deck. The core is divided into three pillars, Steemhunt as product hunting site, Review hunt as a marketing place for brands and makers to find influencers and Ideahunt, which would be a product crowdfunding targeted directly to the main user base. Hope that helps. :)
