Africa in the Map of the World Measured By Wealth

The following map is supposed to be a map of the world when the world is represented by the wealth of continents rather than by landmass. In the map Africa is like a tale attached to Europe and that depiction has far more truth to it than it seems. The problem with the picture, however, is that it does not adequately measure the wealth of the continent. The continent has far more wealth. What the map adequately depicts is that this wealth is not in the hands of Africans. Thus, the continent is squeezed into a spaghetti, as it can be seen in the map. What the map shows is how Africa is squeezed by the power players in the world.
