  Ten years ago, Jim O'Neill made a startling prediction: that the world would no longer be run from New York, London or Tokyo. A new era was rising in which Brazil, Russia, India and China, overflowing with raw materials and ambition, would overtake the largest Western economies. The BRICs concept was born. No other economic idea has defined the 21st Century more powerfully or more accurately. In tipping the four fastest-growing economies, Jim O'Neill flipped the world on its axis and redrew the map of economic growth. The concept was embraced by the markets and championed by the leaders of the four constituent nations. But what does the future hold? Can the BRICS sustain their exceptional levels of growth? Which other nations will drive economic power further south and east? The Growth Map is Jim O'Neill's personal account of the BRICs phenomenon and how it has taken on a life of its own. He pinpoints the next set of growth engines including a universe of countries he defines as the 'Next 11'; Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey and Vietnam.
