We would talk then of resource capture by the same rentiers, rather than useful investment.

Contrary to what you seem to believe, the real world contains very few Bond-villains with white cats in volcano islands who habitually crash major industrial supply chains for shit and giggles.

Usually, they do it for money, and there's no percentage in cornering the market unless you plan to actually sell the product at some point.

We are not in the tight resources hold yet (even in the 70s). For James Bond to have the same lifestyle then, the good guys would be resource "protectors".
