Analysis This is the beginning of BRICS and it is ready to challenge the US and west economy and hegemony but its fact that they are still far from being the number one power of the world due to some lacks Michael Cox Points U.S High living standards US economy continues to lead the world economy Technology & Innovation

Conti…….. Its better to say that BRICS nations have the potential and resources to form a powerful economy with greater opportunity’s than any other nation. Last ten years are a testimony of this statement. A stronger BRICS can also have more influence in other multilateral forums such as the IMF world bank etc. In short, powerful BRICS will cause the world directing towards multilateral system where balance of power will be enough good for world peace.
