Institutional investors = lots of money desperate for positive (inflation adjusted) returns. The earth doesn't get any bigger and somehow the whole world economy is currently built on the expectation of perpetual growth.

The earth doesn't get a whole lot bigger, but consider that 100 years ago sand was useful only as fill. Now there is a trillion dollar industry turning it into microprocessors. Value does not derive solely from raw materials.

The earth isn't the thing buying stuff. It's people.

Once population count goes stagnant or starts to decline then a lot of investment models will have problems.
