THE ORDER THEY INHERITED: How the G7 World Created the BRICS Challenge: 1 (AFTER WESTERN PRIMACY) - Softcover
Book 1 of 4: AFTER WESTERN PRIMACY
Synopsis
The postwar order did not simply create prosperity. It created the powers now challenging its exclusive stewardship.
After 1945, the United States and its allies built institutions that stabilized currencies, financed reconstruction, opened markets and concentrated authority in Western hands. The system proved durable—but it also accelerated decolonization, industrialization and the rise of states that would eventually demand a larger voice.
In The Order They Inherited, Marcus R. Whitaker traces the long road from Bretton Woods, the United Nations and the birth of the G7 to Bandung, commodity politics, development debt, structural adjustment and the globalization bargain. China’s integration into world trade, India’s economic opening, Russia’s post-Soviet reentry, and the ambitions of Brazil and South Africa reveal a challenge that grew inside the existing order rather than beyond it.
The book shows why wars, the 2008 financial crisis, unequal representation and the expanding use of sanctions weakened Western authority without erasing Western power. It then follows BRICS from an investment acronym to an institution-building coalition with wider Global South appeal.
Neither a celebration of BRICS nor an obituary for the G7, Volume One supplies the historical foundation for understanding the more competitive order now taking shape.
