2 June
Johannesburg hosts the BRICS summit from August 22-24.
In addition to BRICS+ expansion plans which will likely incorporate several Middle Eastern ‘petro-dollar’ regimes, there may arise a long-overdue challenge to US monetary and currency hegemony, known as ‘de-dollarisation.’ Yet prior BRICS multilateral financial reforms have failed, and a ‘multipolar’ agenda runs the very real risk of reproducing repressive economic relations. Could the BRICS do better, with non-$ trade, a different New Development Bank, and central bank innovations? And what ‘nonpolar’ alternatives are emerging from below, in social struggles aimed at economic democracy?
