What doesn’t the US understand about BRICS?

The United States’ involvement in the global economic arena (in this case, participation in the G8), makes them think that it has an understanding of how economies really impact where we are globally. What the United States fails to recognize is that BRICS represents the advanced economic development of the emerging national economies (which also plays a huge role in the global economic arena). The countries in BRICS should unite with the G8 in reference to the topic of global governance. Having these countries apart of the G8 would display the representation of those countries that are not geographically represented in the G8. The United States should develop an understanding that the economies of BRICS are just as powerful as those that are in the G8.
