But the "high yield" investments are a zero-sum game. They don't create new money. If you invest in a company and the company is successful, your return is not printed. It comes from the pockets of the companies customers.

The risk-free returns on government bonds are risk free because the government never goes bankrupt. Because it simply prints the money it needs.
