BRIC by BRIC
 
Americans need to know a lot more about the BRIC nations.
 
The American framers set up a government that was ultimately run by the regular citizens. If the regular people don't run things, freedom will be lost.
 
This is a great lesson of history, and it holds true today. If an elite class, any elite group, runs the show, it will over time increase its own power and perks at the expense of the masses.
 
But to run the nation, the regular people must understand the world, and Americans today know and understand far too little about the BRIC.
 
This acronym stands for Brazil, Russia, India and China, and these nations are remaking the world right now.
 
It is vital to know a lot more about them: history, language, current events, economics, class systems, culture, etc. The inter-relations between these nations and their allies are especially important.
 
It is not an overstatement to note that the 21st Century is currently being built BRIC by BRIC.
 
(Try the following: When a Billion Chinese Jump by Jonathan Watts, The New Brazil by Riorden Roett, The Return by Daniel Treisman, and a biography of Gandhi.)
