In this book, Ryan Avent explores how an unswerving confidence in systems of liberal democracy and free market capitalism—which he terms the “Modern Faith”—has left many Western countries struggling to deal with democratic backsliding and social dysfunction. Those seeking the certainty of another technocratic solution, however, are searching in the wrong place. The true foundation of our prosperity, Avent argues, is not in an ability to reason our way to better policies and institutions but rather lies in the nature and distribution of our beliefs.

NEW YORK CITY IN THE 1970S WAS A CULTURE OF OPEN CORRUPTION. EVERYONE WHO WAS ANYONE WAS IN ON THE GRIFT. Ford to City: Drop Dead. It’s the most famous tabloid headline of all time (with apologies to “Headless Body in Topless Bar”). It also supplied the narrative that came to be accepted as truth regarding the New York City fiscal crisis of 1975—an uncaring, hapless, accidental President Ford abandoning America’s greatest city in its hour of maximum need.

For decades it sat in the background — a monetary relic, a jewelry metal, a footnote in commodity reports. That era is gone. Today, silver is the hidden load-bearing wall of the green transition and the data economy. It's in every solar panel, every electric vehicle, every 5G tower, every AI data center humming away in a server farm somewhere. Demand is structural and accelerating. Supply is not.

This book argues that many financial failures are not technical, but conceptual. Markets are not mechanical systems governed solely by numbers. They are human systems—shaped by consciousness, confidence, narrative, trust, and time. Wealth, in this view, is not accumulation. It is the ability to direct resources.
