Afghanistan: Where $1 Trillion in Riches Are Held Captive by War

Afghanistan: Where $1 Trillion in Riches Are Held Captive by War
Based on gross domestic product and adjusted for purchasing power parity, Afghanistan is the 10th-poorest nation in the world. In 2013, the average citizen of Afghanistan added just $1,072.19 to the economy. For perspective, that figure in the United States was $51,248.21. This is why Afghanistan's gross domestic product is only about $20 billion annually, which is less money than some U.S. companies make in a year.
