Description

For years now, accelerating after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, folks have been getting excited about the BRICS organization. Well today, the More Freedom Foundation Podcast delivers our verdict. BRICS? It's a bit iffy.
Get ready to explore the BRICS grouping – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – and unravel the layers of disappointment surrounding its potential challenge to American imperialism.
With keen insights and critical analysis, Rob and Ruairi dissect the origins, goals, and shortcomings of the BRICS alliance. They shed light on why this coalition of emerging powers was initially hailed as a formidable counterbalance to American dominance on the global stage. Yet, as the story unfolds, listeners will discover how this promise remains unfulfilled and what opportunities were missed along the way.
As the hosts navigate the complex landscape of geopolitics, they highlight key moments, decisions, and internal dynamics, especially its recent expansion, that hindered the BRICS group from realizing its full potential. Join them on a journey of exploration, reflection, and revelation, as they offer a fresh perspective on a crucial aspect of global politics.

The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
