    Listen, if you think a BRICS currency won’t be controlled by oligarchs, you’re just fooling yourself. But at least there would be more oligarchs controlling things, not just a few Americans.

    I think the best outcome of a BRICS currency is that, like in the Eurozone, a common currency nudges countries to cooperate more with each other instead of fight, and this can have a broader positive effect on other countries.

      That’s specifically why I’m against BRICS and US hegemony. The euro zone is far from perfect. But it’s a pretty different beast from those two.
