The Monopolists

The Monopolists uncovers the untold origins of the iconic board game Monopoly, revealing a narrative that challenges the widely accepted story of its invention by an unemployed Pennsylvanian in 1935. It highlights the contributions of Lizzie Magie, a forgotten feminist and the true creator of the earlier Landlord's Game, centering on themes of corporate greed and moral values opposite to those espoused by Monopoly. Through the lens of one man's quest to tell the real story, the audiobook presents a captivating social history of American business and its complexities over the last century.
