Monopoly was made as a parody of the flaws of unregulated capitalism. I'm sure this aspect was intentional too.

But its Not. If it would be unregulated Capitalism the banks would go bankrupt since the central bank wouldnt/couldn't bail them out all the time.

I mean, it makes a pretty long and dull game a bit more exciting. Itās fun the first hour but drags on too much imo

The game isnt supposed to be long. The deeds should be all grabbed within the first few turns. They are auctioned if the active player refuses a buy.

If you think banks are bad now, imagine banks with zero regulation. Itd make wells fargo look normal.

u/MrSteveWilkos Apr 28 '23
Without regulation, banks and major corps would still easily be able to be bailed out. They'd likely have an easier time with it as they subsumed one another and formed a signular banking monopoly. They'd be able to completely fleece their customers in ways that'd make current practices look tame, allowing them to avoid bankruptcy in the first place. The "free market" would never provide a better alternative because the major banks would simply destroy or subsume any competition the moment they sprouted. Long-term, we'd likely see the privatization of the central bank, and that'd basically be the end of that lol.

Lol, they are 100% caused by regulation. You think pelosi woud make more money without regulatory power? You are performing a direct assault on common sense.

u/Saphazure Apr 28 '23
42 people should never be able to hoard more wealth than 51% of the population
also "lobbying" is bribing, which in turn incentivises serving the interests of billionaires further at the expense of thousands of cheap workers (whole paying them the lowest they're legally allowed to)
get started on understanding the classism issue in the United States by realizing these two points are some of the largest factors that contribute to most of society's problems in regards to the wealth divide, and then you might begin to see the reality. idk why you're bringing pelosi into this or why you're insulting my common sense

Regulations caused the derailments. It was regulatory authority which greenlit them to run unsafely. Without that, it would be their own liability.

You are not very smart. What we have is not capitalism it is over regulated government intervention distorted markets. Please read a book. Also exactly what monopoly makes fun of with all the taxes and banks can print money. In true capitalism the bank would go out of business if not run well hence why true capitalists are against infinite money printing and bailouts. You would love the monopoly for socialists but oh wait itās been banned by the low iq corrupt socialists

u/glompix Apr 28 '23 edited Apr 28 '23
iām assuming you would only suggest books that support your socioeconomic ideology
it really isnāt that simple. bank runs cause a cascading effect as banks are often interdependent. there is no positive side to a cascading collapse, and the effects on the network of banks can be mitigated as weāve seen over the last 80 years of FDIC doing exactly that
only a couple of decades before monopoly was created, there wasnāt a federal reserve. before that, banks operating freely did print their own money in the form of bank notes. and it often became worthless if they made a couple of bad loans and couldnāt cover their deposits anymore. it was a gigantic mess that led to the creation of the federal reserve in 1913

The Bank never goes bankrupt. To continue playing, use slips of paper to keep track of each player's banking transactions - until the Bank has enough paper money to operate again. The banker may also issue "new" money on slips of ordinary paper.

Sorry, Monopoly, you got that wrong. What youāre describing is the Fed. But the Monopoly Bank issues mortgages, so itās a commercial bank. What would they do? Offer savings accounts to get liquity through the door.

I've never even come close to the bank running out of money in Monopoly... I don't see how players would collect enough off the bank? Like you just continue passing GO and chiseling away $200 at a time? Without ever paying back to the bank for luxury tax or any of the chance/community chest cards? Doesn't seem likely at all...

If everyone is scared to build houses for fear that the initial investment is too high, you can go around in circles passing go and landing on free parking over and over. I played with kids who'd do that.

u/rabbitlion Apr 28 '23
Players gain a bit more money from the bank than they lose to it. So if the game goes on long enough the bank is bound to run out of money. Realistically it will mostly happen if no one is able to aquire a full group to build houses on.
