Afghanistan has been in political turmoil for almost a quarter century and, basically, it has been an economy without any interaction with rest of the world. Traditionally, the Afghan economy has produced dried fruits and nuts (using labor and orchards) and woolen rugs (using labor and cattle). The World Bank makes a major investment and claims that improvement in labor productivity in both fruit and rug sectors, as a result of their targeted investment, can benefit ALL workers, orchard owners and cattle owners in Afghanistan. Evaluate the World Bank s claim: clearly state your assumptions under which you agree or disagree with them.
