That, and invested money is not cyclical in the economy. Yes, the invested spend it on something, but only on the pretense that future returns of theirs will go back to the original investor with interest. The only exchange of resources there is the time between having money now and giving more money back later.

Compared to more equitable economics where the baker gives the mechanist bread to fix the milkmans car who gives the baker milk, and each of them is using cash received from the other to provide goods for their wants and needs, is much more tantamount of a functioning economy than loans, especially when investment money seeks the safest of avenues for returns, thus the vast majority of potential entrepreneurs are out of scope of getting the money anyway.
