Emerging Markets"Decoupling"...Makes a Comeback

The once popular theory among economists of decoupling... is making a comeback.

Decoupling is the concept that emerging markets like the BRIC ( Brasil, Russia, India and China) could grow... independently of developed economies.

After the recent world financial crisis, the idea was discarded.

But it now seems to be re-emerging.

What is the "BRIC"?...and What Does It Matter?

A nice nutshell profile of "BRIC"... the acronym for the four emerging economies of Brasil, Russia, India and China...from NPR 's Tom Gjelten.

The NYTimes reports that: "The four countries produce about 15 percent of the world’s gross domestic product and hold about 40 percent of the gold and hard currency reserves, but they are not a unified bloc and do not do enough business among themselves to justify a trade alliance." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/17/world/europe/17bric.html?ref=todayspaper


Plus a more detailed report on the BRIC's recent meeting:
