They will focus on producing real value they can trade, instead of the less efficient strategy of stealing from others.
In other words, do you think the author was happy? I don't.
Religion and altruism teach that your self-interest (at least in this world) is in opposition to morality. You can either help yourself, OR be good, but not both. The truth is that they are the same thing and you can do both.

"They will focus on producing real value they can trade, instead of the less efficient strategy of stealing from others." less efficient in what way? "In other words, do you think the author was happy? I don't." i do. well, actually i really don't know, but nothing in the text really made me think he wasn't. "The truth is that they are the same thing and you can do both." i'll be sure to keep that in mind. it sounds so convenient.
