The market is composed of companies, each of these companies are composed of people trying to better their own lives by working hard. When you buy an index fund you are essentially betting on all these people collectively working hard to improve their lives and if incentives are correctly aligned this should also mean the value of these businesses growing.

They are composed of people doing that, people rigidly protecting their incomes and/or status, people cheating others, and especially these days, people trying to squeeze every drop of blood out of every other stakeholder (investors, customers, employees).
