Sorry, that is tripe. It is capitalism as "explained" by a mystic to a mystic (the pope).

The essence of Capitalism is rational greed. When a creator produces something of value it is traded for something else of value. Money is the abstract that makes this transaction of values easier, lest all would rely on simple barter.

The trading of value for value is NOT a gift.
