This pattern of consolidation has helped thin the market down to around 150 candy producers today. From those 150, Mars and Hershey control around 75 percent of the national chocolate market, and 60 percent of the US candy market overall. Despite its status as wholesome family fun, Monopoly’s history is riddled with controversy. Officially, Monopoly was invented in 1933 by an unemployed salesman, Charles Darrow, who drew the first board on his kitchen tablecloth. Square names were apparently based on Darrow’s childhood memories of Atlantic City, hence the famously misspelt name of ‘Marvin Gardens’ (a formal apology was issued to the residents of Marven Gardens in 1995). Perhaps Wonka would attempt to highlight his benevolence towards his employees – for example in giving his workers full creative musical freedoms with regard to singing songs about Augustus Gloop (suggesting a union movement). But such “freedoms” are only a fig leaf to cover capitalism’s economic exploitation of the workers.

Turkey exports about 300,000 tons of hazelnut to the world. How strange that only foreign companies earn profits from this business,” he said with bitter irony. Through the 1960s America’s candy market was largely regional. “You ate the candy that was produced in your town,” recalls Dave Wagers, owner of the Idaho Candy Company, one of a dwindling number of independent candy makers in the country. Candy was a sprawling and diverse industry at that time, run by confectionery tinkerers who tirelessly stirred and tweaked to dish up new sweets. To distinguish their creations, producers pegged treats to national sports stars, disgraced politicians, or even the local preacher. There was the Winning Lindy bar for Charles Lindbergh, the Dr. IQ bar for a ’30s radio quiz show, and the Oh Henry! bar named after the guy who moved barrels of corn syrup at one manufacturer’s candy plant. For many first-time visitors to London and Atlantic City, the cities honoured in the most popular versions of the game, walking the streets is like travelling through a real-life Monopoly world. Pall Mall, Mayfair, the Strand, Fenchurch Street, Bond Street and the Angel, Islington – to millions around the world these are Monopoly squares rather than real places. In 1866, they invest in refining the cocoa to an essence ending the need for any adulteration. And it’s just in time to take advantage of the new middle class obsession with the chemicals in their food. The 1872 and 1875 Adulteration of Food Acts essentially gives free publicity to the Cadburys. They supplement this with an ad campaign based on the slogan ‘Absolutely Pure. Therefore Best’. Their small business becomes a big enough brand to break the monopoly the French had previously exerted on the British market. Richard makes the first British made chocolate boxes. He artistically adorns them with designs that will come to epitomise the Victorian/Edwardian era. They make their first Cadbury Easter Egg in 1875 (the ubiquitous cream one isn’t invented till 1971).

Steve Almond, author of CandyFreak , says bringing a new candy bar to mainstream markets as an independent producer today is “virtually impossible.” The world consumes more than 300,000 tons of Nutella a year – a figure that is often, if bizarrely, compared to the similar weight of New York’s Empire State Building. The Cadburys had helped take on and break the French chocolate monopoly in the 19th Century. Now, in the 20th Century, with their highly motivated workforce, they would take on and compete against the Swiss milk chocolate manufacturers. In 1915, they produce Milk Tray, a chocolate collection affordable enough to be an everyday treat. As early as the 1920s, a man named Dan Layman produced a commercial version of the game after encountering Magie’s game at college. Layman’s game was called ‘Finance’, because his legal advice suggested that the name ‘Monopoly’ could not be protected because of the earlier game. Undaunted, Darrow printed 5,000 copies of Monopoly and began to sell it under his own steam. The game was a hit in local stores, prompting Parker Bros to return in 1935 to buy the rights and make Monopoly into the fastest-selling board game in America.

The… But, in reality, it is the workers who are vital: without them, there would be no production (and thus no chocolate) at all. Each and every worker is pivotal in production; if anything, the physical production of the chocolate is even more demanding than the creative side. At most, therefore, Wonka should only be entitled to the same wage as the rest of the chocolate factory workers as compensation for his managerial duties. Do you prefer Nutella or Nocciolata? With or without palm oil in your spread? More chocolate, more hazelnut or even peanut?

What Version

People have fought to buy their favorite spread cheaply, while in Turkey hazelnut farmers complain of exploitation and meager pay. Magie’s game spread through the disparate Quaker communities of the eastern United States, along the way changing its name from ‘The Landlord’s Game’ to ‘Auction Monopoly’ and eventually just ‘Monopoly’.

Wonka has created such a monopoly. After years without being seen in public, he is still the face of chocolate production and has even managed to get a small army of Oompa-Loompas smuggled into the UK, presumably with the tacit collusion of the Home Office. This suggests that Wonka’s business has become such an important monopoly within the wider economy that the government has allowed Oompa-Loompas to come to Britain without any documentation. Beyond this, Wonka is able to pay them with chocolate rather than money, which suggests the bending of the law – if not the breaking of it. Had Nutella been buying our hazelnuts on fair terms, if it didn’t oppress us, we would be proud and eat it ourselves,” he said. We eat unhealthy food because of these monopolies, are charged too much for medicine because of these monopolies, get paid less than we should because of these monopolies, and have less credible information about our world because of these monopolies. Indeed, it’s not too extreme to say that the core social problem in America, fostering everything from obesity to the dominance of big tech, is control of shelf space. In 1899, Richard dies unexpectedly. But by the time of his death the Cadbury factory has trebled in size and now has 2,600 employees. The company becomes the Cadbury Brothers Limited and a new younger generation bring the latest business ideas from analytical laboratories to assembly lines. But no matter the innovations, George is his father’s son. He continues to plough his profits into social causes like pension reform and to pursue his pacifist philosophy against the Boer War. But the way they operate, we can’t stomach Nutella anymore.” 5 things to know about Nutella and rivals

Wonka would likely return the argument, were Marx to criticise his exploitative ways, by claiming that he – as the person organising and arranging labour, along with dealing with the intellectual and creative side of chocolate production – has a right to a larger portion of the revenue, as the company would not exist without him. Demir said Ferrero and other global companies sourcing Turkey’s hazelnuts provide tools and fertilizers for the farmers, paying for their harvests in advance.
