_edge , 10 days ago ELI5: why is BRICS suddenly a thing and what is it? I've always known BRIC to mean four countries, which may or may not have similar interests. Ok, add South Africa, that makes it 5 countries. Until recently, I did not think of BRICS as a bloc or an organisation. What are they? What does it mean if a country seeks to join?
