Completely wrong.
His assumption doesn't require altruistic angels at all. In free market, in order to maximize your own selfish benefit, you
must serve the needs of others (ie if a greedy baker wants your money, he
must bake a bread you like/buy.
Under your assumption, however, the government should give subsidies to the baker baking bread no one wants so has money for "recreation, enrichment, empowerment." Plus it requires good altruistic angels paying for all of it.
