The latest Saudi moves and their implications for the United States and its client Israel can only be understood in the context of epochal geopolitical changes. Namely, the rise of China as a world power, its deepening alliance with Russia and the erosion of American power.
The BRICS Bank is a young institution compared to the World Bank, but it has considerable financial resources and will need to be innovative in providing assistance that does not lead to endemic debt. Whether it will be able to break with the IMF’s orthodoxy is yet to be seen.

This essay is based on the preface to a Turkish translation of ‘Socialism or Barbarism: From the “American Century” to the Crossroads’ by István Mészáros. It was written prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
