In January 2024, five politically and economically heterogeneous countries ‒ Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates ‒ joined the BRICS. The BRICS+ countries now represent around 45 percent of the world’s population and around a third of global GDP. Our authors take a critical look at some key economic and political challenges: What impact will the BRICS enlargement have on the world?

Horacio Larreguy's research is on political economy and development, mostly in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. He has particularly worked on the importance of information for political accountability, vote buying, and when education fosters political participation. More recently, motivated by the COVID-19 infodemic and increasing political polarization, he has implemented various projects on misinformation and accountability under polarization in Bolivia, Brazil, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, and Zimbabwe.

He is the Lynn Bendheim Thoman, Class of 1977, and Robert Bendheim, Class of 1937, Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. He is currently studying how child penalties -- i.e., the effects of parenthood on women relative to men — affect gender inequality in labor market outcomes.
