Writes Joseph Stromberg on the Mises Economic Blog: "The question has come up about the economic fallacies buried in the Parker Bros. game 'Monopoly,' and it got me thinking. How about a 'Territorial Monopoly of Protection' game? Everywhere you land on the board, you go to jail, pay a fine, get regulated, conscripted, or lectured by minions of the state. Your only way to 'win' is to land on the 'become a state bureaucrat' square. Then you get to oppress the other players."
