Monopoly Game Birthday (1903)
-- Monopoly is derived from The Landlord's Game created by Lizzie Magie in the US in 1903 as a way to demonstrate an economy rewarding wealth creation is better than one where monopolists work under few constraints and to promote the economic theories of Henry George — in particular his ideas about taxation. Published by Parker Brothers in 1935, the game was named after the economic concept of monopoly — the domination of a market by a single entity.

-- In the late 1800s lived Lizzie Magie, a clever and charismatic woman with a strong sense of justice. Waves of urban migration drew Lizzie's attention to rising financial inequality. One day, she had an idea: create a game showing the unfairness of the landlord-tenant relationship. But game players seemed to have the most fun pretending to be wealthy landowners. Enter Charles Darrow, a marketer and salesman with a vision for transforming Lizzie's game into an exciting staple of American family entertainment.
