Enter the BRICs: It's Showtime

The second BRIC summit is scheduled for April 16 in Brasilia, capital of Brazil. Last year's summit meeting in Yekaterinburg, Russia was very much the trial run for the Age of the BRICs. At that time, the BRICs kept their cards close to their chest, for the obvious reason that the global economy was still in free-fall, and crisis management (a polite euphemism for the orderly unwind of the US Empire's mountain of debt) was the order of the day. Still, it was only a question of time before post-neoliberal economics turned into multipolar geopolitics.

Now the recovery is finally here, the BRICs are cooking up something special. Stay tuned, because this is going to be the story which defines the next decade.
