BRICS is the acronym denoting the emerging national economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
It is a growing eastern world alliance led by China.
In another effort to reduce their dependence on the US dollar, BRICS members have been building their own global payment infrastructures for international transactions that are independent of the US dollar and can serve as alternatives to SWIFT, the leading messaging network for financial transactions worldwide.
This allows BRICS members, especially those who are often subjects of US sanctions, to create their own rules for international banking and settlement. Moreover, by extending alternative financial infrastructure to other countries and regions, BRICS can create greater buy-in for their own system and increase their financial and political influence through this alternative system.
Some BRICS members have independently developed their own cross-border payment mechanisms in recent years.
Both Russia and China have launched their national alternatives to the SWIFT global banking network and introduced their systems to broader global markets. Source: www.cambridge.org

Judy Shelton's Vision for a Gold-Backed Treasury Bond

Renowned economist and advocate of the gold standard, Judy Shelton, has once again brought the conversation on sound money to the forefront.
In a recent post on X, formerly Twitter, she posed a thought-provoking question:
"Why don't we use our gold as collateral for a new Treasury debt instrument?"
Shelton has proposed an innovative mechanism for reintroducing the gold standard—a 50-year Treasury bond convertible into gold, to be issued on July 4, 2026, under the initiative of President Donald Trump.
This move, she argues, could symbolize a return to fiscal discipline and monetary stability, aligning with the principles of America's founding.
A former economic advisor to President Trump, Shelton has been a vocal critic of the Federal Reserve and its monetary policies.
Her latest book, Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, delves into the historical and practical benefits of a gold-backed monetary system, highlighting its potential to curb inflation, stabilize currencies, and restore trust in the U.S. dollar.
