I think the argument is that there _is_ plenty of money, it's just parked safely and quietly in property rather than investing in production or R&D. And not a "conspiracy" as much as the blank look the property investor class give you when you can't promise risk free leveraged 7% forever.
Most folks I know and have read about didn't go to the loan shark or local mafia for 'money' even though that is even more readily accessible and with zero paperwork.
