Dr. Vidhu Shekhar explores BRICS’ efforts to develop a SWIFT alternative, offering emerging economies a route to financial autonomy and stability beyond the dollar.
The United States isn’t likely to join BRICS anytime soon. One of the core principles BRICS recently emphasized for membership is the rejection of sanctions as a tool of foreign policy—a practice the U.S. relies on heavily. BRICS was originally established as a counterbalance to international institutions perceived as being used strategically by the U.S., so it’s tough to imagine the U.S. fitting in with this agenda. Interestingly, the concept of an organization like BRICS can be traced back to American roots, specifically to ideas proposed by Lyndon LaRouche. We’ve actually discussed this background in more detail on our YouTube channel, so feel free to check it out if you’re curious about the history behind BRICS.
Great article, very balanced view, thank you!
