Uma Nova Ordem Mundial já chegou: os BRICS já são 4 das 7 maiores economias da Terra.
Putin has called for a “new world order,” with the aim of stabilizing the globe. He believes the US is abusing its role as global leader. What’s not being widely reported is the fact that the pillars of the old order have been crumbing for years. It used to be all so simple. The world was split into two camps – the West and the rest. And the West was truly the best.
Twenty years ago, six of the world’s biggest economies were part of the pro-Washington world. The leader, the US itself, was so far in front that its total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was more than four times larger than China’s and nine times the size of Russia’s. The world’s most populous country, India, had almost the same gross income as comparatively tiny Italy and the UK. Any notion that the order would change so dramatically in a mere two decades seemed laughable. The Western perception was that China and India were backward and would take a century to become rivals. Russia was seen as a basket case, on its knees and ruled by chaos. There was a lot of merit in that notion in the 90's.
