Every great Civilisation and most great cities were founded near river systems and a lot many also died out when the rivers dried up or changed course.

Per capita GDP is also a outdated measure because it doesn’t take into account that most times in almost every country even socialist/marxist ones a much smaller portion of the population own a huge chunk of wealth compared to the rest of the population i.e., the middle class and/or the poor.
