North Korea Unveils "Most Powerful Weapon" Pyongyang-North Korea today unveiled what it is calling "the world's most powerful weapon." The Pukguksong-3 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

Critics point out that Kim Jong-un's missile ambitions are not only a threat to world peace but also a burden on North Korea's population. A single missile test costs more than $1.3 billion, enough money to purchase 5 million tons of corn on the world market-food the Korean people desperately need.

According to the News Wire, what is the opportunity cost of a single missile test in terms of corn for each of North Korea's 26 million people?
