Ah, the ‘s’ in BRICs is south Africa.; an afterthought.The cartoon would be more accurate in representing the SA balloon with its hot-air burner ‘load-shedding.’ and without its basket…stolen, to pay for Nkandla.
My usual quibble: this should not be in LatinAmerica Views as the cartoonist is from the United Arab Emirates and the subject are the BRICS countries of which only one is in Latin America: Brazil.
“Economics in India and other Middle Eastern countries is like a rotten apple, Perfect Red skin, and Rotten to the core.”
You’re right, of course, we should take lessons from the West. With its sub-prime mortgage scandal engulfing the entire world, Enron, the S&L debacle, Worldcom, Tyco, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Madoff, Parmalat, Barclays playing Libor…to name just a few major Western corporate economic scandals and without bringing up oil companies interfering in many nations’ economies, blood diamonds, mineral pilfering etc etc etcSqueaky clean, that’s Western economics.
