Oh boy, it's time for one of my favorite episodes, How Monopoly Works. This one was way more interesting than I ever understood. There's a lot more to Monopoly. And just as a little aside, if you think that the Monopoly man wore a monocle, you're wrong. You're thinking of Mr. Peanut. Plus also, it makes sense that he would be wearing a monocle. It's a bit of a crime that he wasn't.
At any rate, here's the episode. I'm Monopoly.

Chapter 2: What are the origins of Monopoly as a teaching tool?
Okay. I think it sounds right. And it's interesting to me that the game of Monopoly, which is all about capitalism and bankrupting your neighbor, was stolen. The game was stolen. From a leftist intellectual Quaker. In the original version of the game, it was to teach against monopolies and how they were bad. Right, so let's talk about this.
Monopoly, actually, if you trace it back to about the literal beginning of the 20th century, it's what's considered a folk game. There were a lot of people playing versions like this in cities all over the country, but again, they all shared some pretty common viewpoints. I guess today you would kind of call them socialists. But for the most part, they were followers of a guy named Henry George.
Yeah, Georgeism. Yeah, he came up with this thing called Georgeism, which is based on some other philosophies. But the idea of it is that if you produce something through your own labor, your own work, you own that. That should not be taxed. Right. What should be taxed is things that everybody owns.
If somebody's taking something that belongs to everybody, say a parcel of land, technically the land belongs to everybody. Well, that was his notion was that you shouldn't even be a landowner. The whole concept of owning land to him was ridiculous. And that's based on this idea, the law of the commons, which is around for centuries, if not millennia.
And then once people started taking land, he's like, okay, well, if you're going to own land, it belongs to everybody. So that should be taxed. Yeah. And then that tax will be given back to the community for the greater good. Yeah.
So that's Georgism, and that was kind of the philosophy that formed the basis of Monopoly, what was originally called the Landlord's Game, which was created by a lady named Lizzie Maggie, M-A-G-Y. M-A-G-I-E. M-A-G-I-E. Yeah. Almost magpie, but without the P. Right? Yeah. And she basically... I think that was on her card. Right. In quote. Yeah.
And she came up with this, like you said, to kind of teach... So you could go and be a rich landowner and bankrupt other people and exploit the poor who need your help, who need a decent place to stay. And you could see yourself like the evils of capitalism. But she actually came up with two... sets of rules for the same game.
One was where you got as rich as you could at the expense of everybody else. The other was basically the community benefited. And you can kind of see that today in these weird things like community chess, like why would I want to pay into this pot? I don't care about the community. Now it's a bad thing. In her original version it was a good thing, like the community won.
And that was the basis of the whole thing. Yeah, which is really ironic. It is. Yeah, like you said, she created two versions, and she said, one of the quotes from her is, it is a practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences. So it was kind of to teach people lessons, and she had it stolen from her. She did.
