You're right - currently the economy doesn't function as it should but I assure you we're taking it seriously and have someone on board working to make it right! He's been on board for what, 2+ years and is still struggling to put a trading system in place? Copy and past from the Eve code and let the players make the market price adjustments, it is really not that difficult. There for the 2 years of "work" he has done I can accomplish more in 15 minutes. What is honestly the real holdup? I don't get why you guys are dragging your feet on this essential feature.
The full market can only be done in phases if you want it to be done right the first time.
Step 1. Introduce player-to-player trading via trade windows or contracts. This will be limited to just player-to-player rather than a full blown market window that you see in Eve.
Step 2. Introduce the ability to move from station to station, system to system, and region to region so that an early regional market can be established or at least help plant the seeds of establishing said markets.
Step 3. Introduce resource harvesting and manufacturing of whatever you traded in Step 1.
Step 4. Phase out NPC-seeded items so that only players will drive the supply and demand and so that prices will no longer be influenced by the NPC-seeded items but rather by the buying and bargaining power of the player.
Of course if you want a reason why they delayed so much, you need only look at the community. The vast majority of us wanted CCP to focus more on gameplay balance and racial parity than on the market. And since many of us are Eve Online players with years experience in the market, it was only natural for us to assume that the economy needs to be done slowly and carefully so that the Eve economy cannot be negatively impacted on the first few days of the great Eve-Dust economic merger.

Wy can't you just give the ability to give away items direct to any char? Then the players them self can trade amongst them selfs making deals it also ads some cool content to the mighty sandbox.

Perhaps it is more to do with the fact that trading in the current state we are in now will just be for nothing more than clearing our inventory until the market fully matures. Trading for profit will just be limited to officer and AUR items and not for the ISK items we spent ISK on.

I read elsewhere that it's trading at 10 to 1 (10 eve isk is worth 1 Dust Isk). At present, there's only one exchange service, so there's no rate competition, but it says interesting things about the relative difficulty in making profit across the two games.
It also confirms something that has been true for Eve for a long time: players will take a tool meant to be a flashlight and use it to build a transcontinental messaging system. Half the features in Eve are copies of features dreamed up by players and built out of unrelated tools. It will be fun to watch it happen in Dust.
Of course, it might be wise to learn the story of the 1st Eve Bank. It's a wonderful tale of the perils of a complete lack of regulation.
Believe it or not, you can still rebuild the 1st Eve Bank and do it again. There is still little to almost no regulation in the Eve Online market. Hell, there is so little regulation in the market that you can do so many dastardly deeds and get away with it.
But yes, overall we can take a tool like the lever and turn the world if we have to. It's incredible what we are capable of. Eve and Dust brings forth the most imaginative and creative minds.
