    Part I: Introduction “Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.” -Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776) “For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it.” -Patrick Henry (1776) “I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth. On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.” -William Lloyd Garrison, The Liberator (1831) “Gas is running low . .” -Amelia Earhart (July 2, 1937) 1 2 Dear Reader, Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. This is not the wacky proclamation of a doomsday cult, apocalypse bible prophecy sect, or conspiracy theory society.

  • Parker Brothers Real Estate Trading Game in 1934, Charles B
    Parker Brothers Real Estate Trading Game In 1934, Charles B. Darrow of Germantown, Pennsylvania, presented a game called MONOPOLY to the executives of Parker Brothers. Mr. Darrow, like many other Americans, was unemployed at the time and often played this game to amuse himself and pass the time. It was the game’s exciting promise of fame and fortune that initially prompted Darrow to produce this game on his own. With help from a friend who was a printer, Darrow sold 5,000 sets of the MONOPOLY game to a Philadelphia department store. As the demand for the game grew, Darrow could not keep up with the orders and arranged for Parker Brothers to take over the game. Since 1935, when Parker Brothers acquired the rights to the game, it has become the leading proprietary game not only in the United States but throughout the Western World. As of 1994, the game is published under license in 43 countries, and in 26 languages; in addition, the U.S. Spanish edition is sold in another 11 countries. OBJECT…The object of the game is to become the wealthiest player through buying, renting and selling property. EQUIPMENT…The equipment consists of a board, 2 dice, tokens, 32 houses and 12 hotels. There are Chance and Community Chest cards, a Title Deed card for each property and play money. PREPARATION…Place the board on a table and put the Chance and Community Chest cards face down on their allotted spaces on the board. Each player chooses one token to represent him/her while traveling around the board.

  • Anti-Monopoly Law
    October 2002 China’s Draft Anti-Monopoly Law Paul, Weiss has recently obtained a draft of the Anti-Monopoly Law (the "AML") of the People's Republic of China ("PRC" or "China") dated February 26, 2002. We attach for your information the Paul, Weiss translation of the draft AML, and provide in this memorandum an initial analysis of the draft AML and other PRC statutes related to anti-monopoly review and regulation. The current draft is apparently not the final version, but as the AML has been in the drafting process since 1994, we believe it represents something close to the principles that will be reflected in the legislation if and when it is finally adopted. I. Outline of the AML A. General The AML governs three types of activities: (a) "activities restricting competition in market transactions" within China, (b) the "abuse of administrative powers to restrict competition" within China, and (c) activities outside China that violate the AML and that restrict or affect competition within China.1 In general, it regulates the activities of "operators," defined in Article 4 to mean legal persons and other organizations and individuals engaged in the production and operation of commodities or services. Article 4 further states that the term "commodities" under the AML includes services. Finally, "market" for purposes of the AML means a geographical area within which operators compete with respect to a given commodity over a certain period of time.2 A key element of the AML is its provision in Chapter 6 for the establishment of a new government agency charged with enforcement.

    Monopoly: A Game of Strategy…Or Luck? EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Serene Li Hui Heng , Xiaojun Jiang , Cheewei Ng, Li Xue Alison Then Team 5, MS&E220 Autumn 2008 A popular board game since 1935, Monopoly is a game that may be dependent on both luck and strategy. A player can bet on his or her own luck alone, think carefully and buy up strategic properties, or use strategy to complement his or her luck to gain dominance in the game. Our report seeks to present our findings on the importance of strategy in Monopoly, as well as which strategies are the most successful. So is Monopoly a game of strategy, or luck, or both? Our methodology involved examining the inter-relationships between the various factors in the game, for example, the throw of the 2 dice, the number of throws that a player has played, the number of rounds he is in, accounting for jail and rent etc. After establishing the inter-relations, we built up our model by gradually adding more factors (which increase uncertainty) that affect the game, and thereby incorporated more realism into the model. We thus proceeded to build 3 main models, by using dynamic equations. First we used the propagation of probability flow method to determine the chances of landing on a particular square in a given number of throws (Model 1). Next, we included regeneration points in the case where jail is considered (Model 2). Lastly, from the probability flow sequences obtained, we calculated the expected value of landing on each square on the board, taking into account the rents paid and $200 that a player gets each time after he passes a round, to analyze the wealth effect when multiple players are involved (Model 3).

  • Using Monopoly to Introduce Concepts of Race and Ethnic Relations
    The Journal of Effective Teaching an online journal devoted to teaching excellence Using Monopoly to Introduce Concepts of Race and Ethnic Relations Warren Waren1 University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816-1360 Abstract In this paper I suggest a technique which uses the familiar Parker Brother’s game Mo- nopoly to introduce core concepts of race and ethnic relations. I offer anecdotes from my classes where an abbreviated version of the game is used as an analog to highlight the so- ciological concepts of direct institutional discrimination, the legacy of discrimination, co- lorblind racism, affirmative action, and reparations. I describe how, after playing the game, the participants spend a short amount of time debriefing in order to express their emotions and examine their motivations. Later, in a broader class discussion, I invite both participants and observers to explain the motivations, attitudes, and behaviors of all play- ers and connect these explanations to theoretical concepts in sociology. After debriefing and discussion, I refer to the shared experiences of the students from the game in subse- quent lectures and readings. Keywords: Teaching race, simulation, monopoly, symbolic racism, colorblind ra- cism. Undergraduate students often enter our classrooms convinced that the battles of the Civil Rights Era solved the issue of race in America. They are generally unacquainted with the long history of race in the United States and almost universally underestimate the struc- tural forces which carry racial disparities into their new century. As sociologists and teachers, it is our responsibility to tell that story and explain those forces. Our new chal- lenge is: How do we teach students the extent of racism in America when, from their point of view, the problem of the color-line has been solved? One option is to use a game.

INTRODUCTION The Supreme Court of the United States once characterized antitrust law as the "Magna Carta" of free enterprise.' By promoting free and fair competition, antitrust law has supported market economies in the West in several important ways. First, it promotes economic efficiency, by making sure that goods are made by the firm that can produce them at lowest cost, and that goods flow to those consumers who value the goods the most. Second, antitrust law seeks to protect customers, both individ- uals and businesses, against the wealth transfers that accompany the cre- ation and exercise of undue market power.
