It can be an economy, but more of a disneyland economy totally supported by an external flow of cash. Someone has to make the energy/food and provide services for the masses before those masses are available to make luxury goods for the rich.

I still don't get it.

Are you telling me you grow your own food and make your own energy for your computers used for coding?

Plus, Disneyland (ie Tourism/entertainment) seems like a pretty serious economy to me.
