It's so ironic that Elizabeth Magie's "The Landlord's Game" was stolen by Parker Brothers and is now one of the most blatantly capitalist products in the world.
Wasn't stolen by Parker Brothers so much as it was stolen by Charles Darrow.
You're right, I got my history mixed up there.
I wouldn’t have known it if I hadn’t skimmed the Wikipedia article. And Parker Brothers knew Darrow wasn't the inventor and they did the “business” to buy it from him anyway.
