While fact searching, I found that a documentary about Monopoly (the game) is releasing today 20th Feb, 2023. What is the Chance? Here are some facts, but there is too much information so please feel free to read it online. My sources are mentioned for your reference; According to Wikipedia: Monopoly is derived from The Landlord's Game, created by Lizzie Magie in the United States in 1903 as a way to demonstrate that an economy that rewards individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth and to promote the economic theories of Henry George—in particular, his ideas about taxation. The Landlord's Game originally had two sets of rules, one with tax and another on which the current rules are mainly based. When Parker Brothers first published Monopoly in 1935, the game did not include the less capitalistic taxation rule, resulting in a more aggressive game. Parker Brothers were eventually absorbed into Hasbro in 1991. The game is named after the economic concept of a monopoly—the domination of a market by a single entity. https://www.abqjournal.com/2573533/pbs-documentary-reveals-the-ruthless-history-behind-monopoly.html https://www.britannica.com/sports/Monopoly-board-game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_(game) 1822: Boston was granted a charter to become a city. 1959: NASCAR held the first Daytona 500, which was won by Lee Petty. 1997: On this day in 1997, a team of British scientists working under the direction of Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh announced the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first clone of an adult mammal. 2000: Mexican-born American musician Carlos Santana won eight Grammy Awards for Supernatural, tying the record set by Michael Jackson.
