Jim O'Neill, one of the most influential
economists today, shares his insights on how and why he
developed one of the most compelling economic concepts
of our time in The Growth Map.
'O'Neill
has redefined how investors and Western business leaders
see the world. This book tells the unlikely story of how
O'Neill developed this path-breaking idea . . . lively,
powerful and highly accessible' Gillian Tett,
Financial Times
Ten years ago, Jim
O'Neill predicted that globalization would help Brazil,
Russia, India and China (the BRICs) - busy, ambitious
countries full of raw materials - overtake the largest
Western economies. With all four BRIC nations set to do
just that, no other idea has proved as significant for
the new century. But these changes have provoked
business and political uncertainty and in The Growth Map
O'Neill examines what is coming next. Can the BRICs
sustain their exceptional growth? Which nations will
come next? And what, for all of us, does the future
hold?

Blankfein, Chairman And Ceo, Goldman Sachs

the most sought-after economic commentators on the
planet' Daily Telegraph
