Among the precious metals, silver is probably the least appreciated one. Gold is associated with wealth and power. Platinum is admired for its great rarity. Silver, on the other hand, is looked down upon, as the material which old fashioned cutlery was made of, before the invention of stainless steel. But there’s more to silver than meets the eye. Its unique physical properties have made it an essential resource for industry. Humanity is consuming it at such a rapid rate, that it's in danger of becoming extinct. Could silver be the linchpin which is holding the global economy together? If a shortage of silver ever develops, could it become unhinged?

This video gives an overview of the silver market, its supply and demand considerations and the reasons why a shortage may develop in the coming years.
