"For every complex problem there is a simple and wrong solution." Sorry, I don't know who I am quoting. But I don't think we should be that skeptical. I guess that some markets may support this model with strong economic basis, not creating an artificial (and not sustainable) production and distribution system. Imagine markets where you don't pay for the production costs or even design, but for the brand. Maybe personalized clothes? My mother create skirts for my girlfriend and sisters that they prefer instead of brand skirts that cost $50. Poor people with a good marketplace could sell these personalized clothes. Also, improving local economy is a very strong strategy. Social currencies (I don't know what is called in english, but I mean a currency that is only valid and accepted inside a particular community) may improve a lot local communities.
