Johannesburg hosts the BRICS summit from August 22-24, 2023.
In addition to BRICS+ expansion plans which will likely incorporate several Middle Eastern ‘petro-dollar’ regimes, there may arise a long-overdue challenge to US monetary and currency hegemony, known as ‘de-dollarisation.’
Yet prior BRICS multilateral financial reforms have failed, and a ‘multipolar’ agenda runs the very real risk of reproducing repressive economic relations.
Could the BRICS do better, with non-$ trade, a different New Development Bank, and central bank innovations?
And what ‘nonpolar’ alternatives are emerging from below, in social struggles aimed at economic democracy?
At the University of Johannesburg, we are hoping that this Friday, we can really get to the bottom of de-dollarization.
Please join us.
