The game "Monopoly" came up with a woman who tried to warn people about the dangers of capitalism
But everything turned out the opposite - "Monopoly" happy to play for more than veka
How can people play the game, intended to demonstrate the malice and greed? The game, which is allowed to rent a property, buy and sell it? The game, which is by all means certain players rewards fabulous profits and other reserves without a penny (as part of the game, of course)? Easy! It's the same people.
In 1904, a Quaker woman named Elizabeth Mega invented its patented a game called "Game of the landlord." Mega thought that the game will tell people about the dangers of economic monopoly of land and power. Being a follower of economist Henry George, she wanted to show that such "monopoly" bring harm to many others.
"Playing the landlord," and later as the "Monopoly" is a playing field on which there are cells such as "Public parking", "Poor House" and "Easy Street". If a player encroached on the "Property Blyudblada Lord," then he went to prison (ransom for $ 200, as in the "monopoly", it was impossible).
The creators of "Monopoly" is considered to Charles Darrow, but, apparently, the founder of the game was the game Megi. Only in the "monopoly" encouraged clever moves - the winner is the player who will be able to buy, sell or rent the property as much as possible to get the greatest return.
