Major news hit this week that the BRICS have launched their own development bank to challenge the currently Western-dominated banking system. Read about it here. Who could better explain the rationale behind this new bank than the author of the book Currency Wars, Jim Rickards? Rickards appeared on CNBC this week to share his thoughts. His message? The world is ready to leave the dollar behind and kick the irresponsible United States out of the economic driver’s seat.
“Every single member of the BRICS, multiple times has voiced dissatisfaction with the dollar, the dollar hegemony, the dollar-based system, and the IMF, which is really dominated by the US. So it’s not that there’s a revolution that happens overnight, but it’s more of an evolution away from the dollar.”
