Listen "The Silver Lining"
Episode Synopsis
Is the silver market a victim of price manipulation, or are there other forces at play? Mark Thornton explores the often-misunderstood economics of silver, delving into the theory of "joint supply" to explain why silver prices can sometimes defy conventional wisdom. Mark examines how silver, often a byproduct of other mining operations, can experience a "silver lining" effect during economic downturns, potentially rising in value when other commodities fall. Forget the conspiracy theories for a clear-eyed look at the economic realities that shape the silver market.Be sure to follow Minor Issues at Mises.org/MinorIssues
