Your're ignoring my work: http://peerconomy.org/wiki/Main_Page. I presume
you didn't read it?

Also, reliance on markets means that millions of children die of hunger each
year, even though enough food is produced for all, and that millions of
people die each year because they can't afford to pay for the medicine that
would save them.

Taking these facts into account, I find it impossible to consider market
allocation a sensible system. Maybe that makes me a "crank", but I'll rather
be a crank than a cynic...

Best regards
