Lizzie Magie, The Lost Inventor of "Monopoly" | Episode 51 by Hosts Hannah Fergesen and Deanna Greif | Produced by Benjamin Garst

You may have heard the story of Charles Darrow, the ingenious inventor of Monopoly, who came up with the idea one day in a random stroke of brilliance while playing with his son. 

The real story is much more complicated, originating thirty years prior with a woman who was staunchly anti-capitalist, and created the game as a way to teach people about a concept called single-tax economics. When Darrow stole her game and sold it to Parker Brothers, Magie's story was lost - until now! 

INTRO - 13:48 | NSFW CONTENT WARNING!!! Deanna shares an article about a gamer’s experience with a Sims 4 sex mod, Wicked Whims, and it is hilarious, disturbing, graphic, and completely absurd. Please, please, please, listen with caution.

14:45 - 42:00 | Hannah presents our person of the week, Lizzie Magie.
