Lizzie Magie (1866-1948)
Lizzie Magie (1866-1948) was an American game designer, writer, feminist, and Georgist. She invented The Landlord's Game, the precursor to Monopoly. Via W #PalianSHOW -

The story of Monopoly is poetic, in a tragic poem sort of way

@rehhahn Yes. I mentioned #ElizabethMagie in my earlier posts!

Who is the rich #NewYorker the #MonopolyMan is based on?
At first glance, the board game Monopoly doesn’t seem like it has a New York City connection. The man who sold it to Parker Brothers in 1935 was from Philadelphia, and the board features properties in Atlantic City.
"Then there’s that mustached man long dubbed 'the Monopoly Man' or 'Mr. Monopoly.' He appears on the Chance and Community Chest cards, always in a Depression-era suit with a bowtie and top hat.
"But the Monopoly Man isn’t just a board game invention—this iconic character (who has an actual name, Rich #UnclePennybags) is supposedly based on the image of an actual New Yorker.
"So who is he? Apparently he’s modeled after banker #JPMorgan. Morgan’s company financed some of the #GildedAge’s biggest corporations. He consolidated railroads, helped rescue the gold standard, and helped stabilize financial markets during the Panic of 1907, according to History.com. His former mansion on Madison Avenue is now the Morgan Library.
"Phil Orbanes, a former VP at Parker Brothers and author of The Monopoly Companion, confirmed in this interview that the artist who drew Mr. Monopoly based him on J.P. Morgan."

Brettspiele sind toll, aber gelegentlich ist nach einer Partie #Monopoly doch mal die Stimmung schlecht. Dennoch ist es eines der beliebtesten Spiele weltweit. Ursprünglich stammt die Idee dazu von Elizabeth Magie, die damit eigentlich über die Gefahr von Monopolen aufklären wollte.

Das FDP-Spiel
"Alles privatisieren! Der Markt regelt den Rest." Sagt die erwähnte Partei.
Und: "Bürokratieabbau!"
Welche Steuern sollen übrigbleiben, wenn mit Bürokratieabbau auch im Steuersystem ernstgemacht wird?Elizabeth Magie Phillips https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Magie würde sagen: Steuern auf Vermögen und Landbesitz würden reichen.
Als (unter anderem) Spieleentwicklerin entwarf sie das Grundbesitzer-Spiel
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Landlord%27s_Game .
Heute im WDR5:
https://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/audio/wdr5/wdr5-neugier-genuegt-das-feature/audio-monopoly--die-paradoxe-geschichte-des-spiels-102.html
Nach dem Prinzip des Kapitalismus, mit Kapital (und das ist nicht nur Geld) immer mehr Geld zu verdienen, können Grundeigentümer Pacht kassieren für das Gelände, auf dem jemand ein Gebäude errichtet oder ein Bauer Landwirtschaft betreibt oder ein Windanlagenbetreiber seine Windmühle Strom erzeugen läßt. Wer es schafft, Eigentümer des Mondes zu werden, dürfte Eintrittsgeld nehmen, wenn jemand den Mond betritt.Und nicht zuletzt: "Wegen des Smogs kaufen Chinesen jetzt Luft aus Kanada"
https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/china-wegen-des-smogs-kaufen-chinesen-jetzt-luft-aus-kanada-1.2785427
Ungeahnte Möglichkeiten hat also, wer Parkstraße, frische Luft, Ackerboden, Baugrund, Hochspannungsnetze oder sonstige nicht beliebig vermehrbare Güter sein Eigen nennen darf.
Das Spiel "The Landlord’s Game", später unter anderem Namen ("Monopoly" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly ) verkauft, sollte eigentlich eine Lehre sein und abschrecken. Seine Beliebtheit offenbart aber den Drang sehr vieler Menschen, möglichst viel haben zu wollen, am Ende ALLES zu besitzen und davon zu leben.So blieb die Hoffnung von Elizabeth Magie Phillips letztlich unerfüllt: "Ich hoffe, dass Männer und Frauen sehr schnell begreifen, dass ihre Armut daher kommt, dass Carnegie und Rockefeller mehr Geld haben, als sie ausgeben können." https://www.srf.ch/news/wirtschaft/elizabeth-magie-phillips-die-vergessene-geschichte-der-monopoly-erfinderin .
An anderer Stelle wurde schon über geniale Frauen geschrieben.

A not-so-well-known fact, thanks for publicising. The Women's History website has a lengthy entry on Elizabeth Magie and her "Landlord" game with the Prosperity and Monopoly rule sets.
Magie, in 1903, "actually designed the game as a protest against the big monopolists of her time—people like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller."

👀 #TIL Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".

As much as #Monopoly sucks because it’s a game of chance, my kids learned about #capitalism, how wealth is more a function of luck & circumstance, and why #landlords are amongst the most worthless people in existence.
Which is exactly what its inventor #ElizabethMagie planned: “[she] originally intended The Landlord's Game to illustrate the economic consequences of Ricardo's Law of #economicRent and the Georgist concepts of #economicPrivilege and land value taxation.”

Empfehle "Geniale Frauen" gern noch einmal, da seit heute mehr als ein Dutzend weitere Kurzfilme über zu Unrecht vergessene Pionierinnen freigeschaltet sind.
