I think the Covenant was a totalitarian theistic monarchy government with a purely communist economy, and they were able to thrive with that. Just because communism doesn't work for humans (lets not get into that argument), it doesn't mean that it can't for another alien culture.(*Not looking to start a flame war*) Of course Communism would work for the Covenant, half it's army is slave labor anyway. The Elites threatened the Jackals Grunts and Hunters with annihilation if they didn't do their bidding. Plus the Drones were treated more like dogs than a respectable species.
If there was any "economy" within the Covenant it's a locust theology. Like locusts, they go planet to planet and simply took what they wanted.
