Book Review: The BRIC Road to Growth by Jim O’Neill

We all know the BRIC countries, but what about the MINTs? In this book economist Jim O’Neill considers how by 2050 Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey could collectively account for around 10% of world GDP. The changes described in this book are game changers: not only will they affect the lives of almost everybody alive between now and 2050, they will lead to unstoppable momentum for changes to be made to the arc of global economic and financial governance, which in its current form, would still be recognizable to the post-1945 generation. This book is a catalyst for each of these debates, and is to be warmly and enthusiastically welcomed, writes Richard Jones.
