{"product_id":"9781101565636","title":"The Growth Map: Economic Opportunity in the BRICs and Beyond","description":"\u003cb\u003e In 2001, Jim O'Neill predicted the fastest growing economies of  the past decade. Now he's back to explore the new growth markets we  should all be watching closely today.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's been ten years since Jim O'Neill conceived of the BRIC acronym.  He and his team made a startling prediction: Four developing nations- Brazil, Russia, India, and China (the BRICs)-would overtake the six  largest Western economies within forty years. The BRIC analysis  permanently changed the world of global investing, and its accuracy has  stood the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Growth Map\u003c\/i\u003e features O'Neill's personal account of the BRIC  phenomenon, how it has evolved, and where those four key nations  currently stand after a turbulent decade. And the book also offers an  equally bold prediction about the \"Next Eleven\" countries: Bangladesh,  Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South  Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam. These developing nations may not seem  exceptional today, but they offer exciting opportunities for investors  over the next decade, just as BRIC did before them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO'Neill also shares several compelling insights about the world  economy. He reveals the value for growing countries in being \"willing to  play\" by meaningfully committing to policies that encourage further  growth and engagement with globalization. He explains how the g20 can  adjust to better incorporate the BRICs and to better reflect the balance  of the global economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, O'Neill makes the counterintuitive claim that good things can  quite often come from crises. While established economic powers may see  the rise of the BRICs as a threat, international trade benefits us all  over the long term. Likewise, the recent financial crisis revealed deep  problems in our economic systems, problems we now have the opportunity to  fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA work of astute and absorbing analysis, \u003ci\u003eThe Growth Map\u003c\/i\u003e is an  indispensable guide for every investor and every participant in the  global economy. Anyone who wants to understand the developing world would  do well to heed the man called \"one of the most sought-after economic  commentators on the planet.\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106190082288,"sku":"9781101565636","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101565636_p0.jpg?v=1763688410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101565636","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
