Anti-Monopoly

Thanks to Crooked Timber for pointing out this article entitled "Anti-Monopoly," in the Washington Free Press. It gives the true story of the history of the game Monopoly which was originally intended to be a game to point out the evils of capitalism. The irony in how the game was stolen and became the most successful board game in history is quite telling.
