Uncle Pennybags a Socialist?

I’m really not a fan of the me-too blog, which just strings together links to the original thoughts of other. But I saw this on Cosmic Variance and thought it was brilliant, so here we go: “Lessons from Monopoly“. It’s an interesting analysis of the socio-economic implications of the Parker Brothers game. As seems to be the case (in my opinion) every time critical thinking is applied to the underpinnings of our economy, it turns out to be a good argument against the current winner-take-all capitalism worship which infects this nation.
