Dear Editor,

Please find attached the paper, A Study on Economic Growth and Well-Being Metrics of Better Life Index (The Case of BRICS Countries) by Rıdvan Karacan, which I would like to submit for possible publication to.

The difference of this paper from other studies is that it involves BRICS; Brazil (Federative Republic of Brazil) Russia (Russian Federation), India (Republic of India), China (People’s Republic of China),South Africa (Republic of South Africa) countries and the method which is used. Our claim is the fact that the economic growth doesn’t represent the welfare increase by itself. This study has made with this aim.

Thank you for your consideration of this manuscript

Yours sincerely,

Rıdvan Karacan Associate Professor
