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 [1] and to promote the economic theories of Henry George—in particular, his ideas about taxation. [5] The Landlord's Game originally had two sets of rules, one with tax and another on which the current rules are mainly based.
