by JIM O'NEILL

About the Book: The Growth Map: Economic Opportunity in the BRICs and Beyond Ten years ago, Jim O'Neill made a startling prediction: that theworld economy would no longer be run from New York, London,Frankfurt and Tokyo. A new era was rising in which Brazil, Russia,India and China, overflowing with raw materials and ambition, wouldovertake the largest Western economies. The BRICs concept wasborn. No other economic idea has defined the 21st Century morepowerfully or more accurately. Jim O'Neill successfully tipped thefour fastest-growing economies, and BRIC has become a formativegeopolitical and investment ideas, accepted by the markets andchampioned by the leaders of the four constituent nations. But what does the future hold? Can the BRICS sustain theirexceptional levels of growth? Which other nations will driveeconomic power further south and east? Growth States is Jim O'Neill's personal account of the BRICsphenomenon. But most crucially he explores where to look now forgrowth potential, naming the 'Next 11' nations which will shape thefuture.
