The game of Monopoly was based on actual principles of economics. Of course, its not just that simple. But its close enough. In fact, if you alter the rules slightly, print some money, grab a bucket of gravel from the driveway, and a simple game of skill like darts, you can simulate almost any element of the economy. Including economic growth, creativity, and ambition. You could even simulate world trade by playing 3 games at once jumping from one board to another. If you want the game to last indefinately, there must be some sort of limit placed on the individual accumulation of personal wealth (You can't get too rich.). Otherwise, the game eventually ends with only one winner. There must be a limit. Nothing else will ever work. If you think you can prove me wrong, give it your best shot. Let me know how the game turns out. Just remember: Its fun to crush the other guy at the kitchen table with fake money, fake resources, and a fake economy. But in the real world, greed causes economic instability, actual hardship, suffering, misery, starvation, and death. Now, test your partisan theories and see if you can make them work. See if you can prove me wrong. I'll say it in advance: Thats what I thought. Greed kills.

By the way, Albert Einstein felt the same way. Its not brain surgery. Its simple math.
