On This Day: 28 August

Today marks the 41st anniversary of the death of Charles Darrow, inventor of the popular board game Monopoly.
Were he alive today, the game might read somewhat differently; “If you pass go, collect £200. Collect £300 from each player in Housing Benefits. Collect £200 from each player in job seekers allowance.”
Celebrate capitalism by playing Monopoly today. You can buy the game and improve your capitalist skills here.
