The Bottom Line on Monopoly

February 14, 2004

Writes Peter Christensen:

Great article…. An interesting result in Monopoly is that when played by the rules, no matter how many players start the game, only one “wins” in the end. The “winner” has forced all of his “customers” into bankruptcy, leaving no market participants. A free market allows for harmony and viability of its members, not a oneway path to ruin for all but a few.
