Cornelius Vanderbilt was a force in 19th century America, playing a pivotal role in transitioning the U.S. economy from rural mercantilism to industrial corporate capitalism. Vanderbilt didn't just compete—he dominated; and didn't just dominate one industry—he conquered three: ferries, steamships, and railroads. He understood that power lay in controlling infrastructure and not just operating within it. His cutthroat tactics were both feared and admired but his vision for what the economy could be was undeniable.  This is the story of how Vanderbilt turned calculated aggression into an art form, how he endured more pain than his competitors, and how he built systems that outlived him.  Learn the mindset, strategies, and brutal lessons behind his dominance; the game of business hasn't changed as much as you think.  (02:20) Prologue (05:12) PART 1 - The Dutch Inheritance (08:21) The Young Boatman (12:30) Capitalizing on War (15:27) General Merchant of the Sea (19:29) PART 2 - The Meeting That Changed Everything (21:48) The Steamboat Wars (24:12) The Anti-Monopoly Crusader (27:06) The Rise of the Commodore (32:08) The Monopolist's Nemesis (34:58) PART 3 - Sole Control (37:28) Prometheus (40:18) Star of the West (44:06) Europe and Betrayal (48:15) The Independent Line (50:13) PART 4 - The Commodore's Return (51:55) Gray Eyed Man of Destiny (53:36) The Conspiracy (54:41) Finishing Walker (55:54) Conquering the Seas (58:13) America's Wealthiest Citizen (60:47) PART 5 - Vanderbilt's Railroad Dominance (01:01:59) The Path to Confrontation (01:03:37) The Breaking Point (01:04:43) The Power to Punish (01:06:32) The Collapse (01:07:50) The Silent Conquest (01:08:57) The Consolidation (01:10:54) The Legacy (01:12:15) FINAL PART - Vanderbilt: The Architect of Modern American Business (01:14:19) Reflections This episode is for informational purposes only and most of the research came from reading The First Tycoon by T.J.

The landmark adtech trial of the century has now officially come and gone. Google and the Department of Justice wrapped up their cases with closing arguments last week.Next up – a decision in the case from the Judge presiding in the case, Judge Leonie Brinkema. Judge Brinkema said she expects to have a decision by the end of the year, but that could get pushed out to the start of next year.To get a better sense of what the closing arguments were like in person I'm bringing on Jason Kint, who has followed the case closely throughout.

Die Politikwissenschaftlerin Ulrike Franke über Drohnen als riskante Waffen und ihren Einfluss auf die Kriegsführung. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus. Das Thema:„Wir haben noch nie einen Krieg gesehen, in dem Drohnen so zentral sind und in so einer großen Zahl eingesetzt werden“, sagt Ulrike Franke über den Ukraine-Krieg. Die Politikwissenschaftlerin erklärt in diesem Podcast, warum diese Waffen für eine neues Zeitalter des Krieges stehen. Drohnen stehen nach ihrer Einschätzung erstens für den wachsenden Einfluss privater Unternehmen und Konzerne in Kriegen zwischen Staaten. Zum Zweiten für die Involvierung von Zivilisten in den Krieg. Nachdem Drohnen eine Hobbytechnologie sind, kann jeder und jede damit umgehen und damit am Krieg beteiiigt werden. Zum Dritten stehen Drohnen für die Macht Chinas: Der staatskapitalistische Staat ist Monopolist bei kleinen Drohnen, das sind jene, die im Ukraine-Krieg eine Hauptolle spielen. Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Ulrike Franke ist Politikwissenschaftlerin und arbeitet mit den Schwerpunkten deutsche und europäische Sicherheit als Senior Policy Fellow beim European Council on Foreign Relations und als Lehrbeauftragte an der Sciences Po Paris. Militärtechnologien insbesondere Drohnentechnologien sind ihre Forschungsthemen und Themen des Podcasts Sicherheitshalber, den sie gemeinsam mit Carlo Masala, Frank Sauer und Thomas Wiegold ins Leben gerufen hat.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus.

hom Hartmann is an American radio personality, author, former psychotherapist, businessman, and progressive political commentator, whose talk show has been rated in the top 10 shows for over a decade by Talkers Magazine. His most recent book is “The Hidden History of the American Dream?” America, primarily thanks to FDR and unionization, was a catapult for the middle class until the early 1980s. The Reagan influence of Neoliberal economics contributed to the decentralization of regulations, race to the bottom, union busting and globalization for cheaper wages. The National Relations Labor Act legalizing unions was some of the most substantive legislation supported by FDR.  Five suggestions to reactivate the American Dream: 1) encourage unionization and National Labor Relations Act; 2: raise top income bracket for the rich; 3) raise top corporate income tax to reduce bogus tax deductions; 4) reestablish inheritance tax; and,  5) guarantee social safety movement with health insurance.

Next in Media spoke with Ronan Shields, who covers ad tech for Digiday, about how the DOJ's case against Google is going in the ongoing ad tech trial, and whether he thinks this case will really reshape the digital ad market anytime soon. Ronan also discussed why some publishers are worried about a potential Google loss, and what Meta and Amazon might be thinking.Sponsored By MolocoTakeaways:• Google's Antitrust Case: The current trial is focused on Google's ad tech business, specifically regarding accusations of monopolistic practices. • DOJ's Strong Case: The Department of Justice (DOJ) seems to be in a favorable position due to damaging internal communications from Google executives. • Damning Evidence: Internal Google emails suggest the company used its dominant position to force publishers into using its ad tech stack, thus limiting competition and harming alternatives in the market.• Impact on Publishers: Many publishers are rooting for Google's loss, but some are concerned about the immediate impact on their monetization strategies if Google is forced to divest its ad tech stack.• Google's Defense: Google argues that competition exists from companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and others. Their defense suggests they are simply better at what they do, not monopolistic.• Future Ramifications for Other Tech Giants: If Google loses, it could set a precedent for future antitrust actions against other big tech players like Meta (Facebook) and Amazon, who are also in the crosshairs of regulators.Guest: Ronan ShieldsHost: Mike ShieldsSponsor: MolocoProducer: FEL Creative

Author Mary Pilon visits Google to discuss her book, "The Monopolists". The book reveals the unknown story of how the classic board game Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins. Most people think Monopoly was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust.  A fascinating social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, "The Monopolists" reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers.

Ein US-Gericht hat Google als Monopolist bezeichnet und dem Unternehmen vorgeworfen, seine Marktstellung mit hohen Zahlungen gefestigt zu haben. Die Konsequenzen für Google können weitreichend sein. Zunächst möchte Google aber in Berufung gehen. Im Rahmen eines weiteren Gerichtsverfahrens gegen Google in den USA wurde ein internes Strategiepapier als Beweisstück eingereicht, das aus dem Jahr 2017 stammt. Darin wird zum Beispiel die Rolle von Werbung und insbesondere von Display-Werbung für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen kritisch bewertet. Die Google Search Console hat mit "Recommendations" ein neues Feature erhalten. Es zeigt in der Übersicht eine Zusammenfassung verschiedener Empfehlungen. Bisher wurde dies aber erst für wenige Websites beobachtet. Google hat daran erinnert, dass die robots.txt nicht dazu geeignet ist, unberechtigte Zugriffe auf Websites zu verhindern. full Google hat in einem Gerichtsverfahren in den USA eine Niederlage erlitten, die sich auf das Geschäftsmodell der Suchmaschine auswirken könnte. no

Google is discontinuing the Google Chromecast  With more than 100 million sold over an 11-year life, it was a good run. It was a great entry level device to very quickly get content onto your TV.  It's being replaced by the Google TV Streamer. It's a device that is designed to sit on your entertainment unit because it also doubles as a full-featured smart speaker with Google Assistant. Think of it more as a "set top box". The extra size means extra connectivity options and power, allowing you to use it as a smart home hub to connect and control your Nest cameras, thermostat, and more.  The TV part of the device runs the latest Android TV operating system and uses Google Gemini AI to provide TV recommendations and help you use your voice to navigate the app.    Google is a monopolist  This is a huge win for the US government who says that Google Search has a monopoly on the market - surprising no one. Google has a 90% share overall, and 95% share on mobile devices.   The judge particularly takes aim at their deal with Apple to make Google the default search engine. Apple and Google would argue that people are going to turn to Google anyway, so why not give it to them up front as the default. It's thought the judge may force those deals to be scrapped but could go so far as to force Google search to be broken out as a separate company.   Commentators say this is a warning to big tech because it says no company is too big to regulate. There's another case pending too, which examines the ads business.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a historic decision this week, a federal judge ruled that Google acted to illegally maintain a monopoly in online search. The case was the first of several antitrust lawsuits the U.S. government has brought against some of the nation's leading tech companies, and the ruling marks a major victory for its efforts to reign in big tech. WSJ's Miles Kruppa explains how this decision could shake up Google's business and potentially change how we search the internet.  Further Reading: -Google's Antitrust Loss Set to Reshape Search and Mobile Industries  -Google Loses Antitrust Case Over Search-Engine Dominance  Further Listening: -Why the DOJ Is Suing Google Again  Learn more about your ad choices.

Mit ihrem Buch „Chokepoint Capitalism“ weisen Rebecca Giblin und Cory Doctorow auf eine Besonderheit des Plattformkapitalismus à la Amazon oder Google hin: Solche Plattformen sind bewusst darauf hinentwickelt, nicht nur Monopolist (also einziger Anbieter für ihre Kunden) zu sein, sondern gleichzeitig Monopsonist (also einziger Nachfrager für die Anbieter z. B. der Buchbranche). Auf diese Weise können sie in ihren Märkten sowohl aus den Anbietern von Produkten als auch aus den Kunden das meiste Geld herauspressen und sämtliche Renditen abschöpfen.

In this episode, Alan and Liz chat about Kara Goucher's recently released book, The Longest Race. They'll tell you what they learned, what they thought, and why they wanted to read the book in the first place.Kara Goucher grew up with Olympic dreams. She excelled at running from a young age and was offered a Nike sponsorship deal when she graduated from college. Then in 2004, she was invited to join a secretive, lavishly funded new team, dubbed the Nike Oregon Project. Coached by distance running legend Alberto Salazar, it seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime. Although Alberto initially let her train with the team because he was more interested in her husband Adam, his focus shifted once she won a World Championship medal. She later went to the Olympics, and stood on the podium at the New York and Boston marathons, just like her coach. Those podiums are what the world saw, but behind the scenes, Salazar pushed the limits of anti-doping rules, and created what Kara experienced as a culture of abuse, the extent of which she reveals in her book for the first time. Meanwhile, Nike stood by Alberto for years and proved itself capable of shockingly misogynistic corporate practices.Kara Goucher is a three-time NCAA champion, two-time Olympian, winner of the silver medal at the 2007 World Championships in the 10,000 meters, and a podium finisher at the Boston and New York Marathons. She is a running analyst for NBC Sports. She cohosts the hit running commentary podcast Nobody Asked Us with Des & Kara, as well as the Clean Sport Collective podcast, promoting fair play in sports. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, with her Olympic-runner husband, Adam, and their son, Colt. Her website is KaraGoucher.com.Mary Pilon is a journalist focused primarily on the worlds of sports and business. She is the author of the bestselling books "The Monopolists" and "The Kevin Show," the co-editor of “Losers: Dispatches From the Other Side of the Scoreboard,” and co-host and co-author of the audio series “Twisted: The Story of Larry Nassar and the Women Who Brought Him Down.” Her work regularly appears in the New Yorker, Esquire, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Vice, New York, and The New York Times, among other publications. She has worked as a producer with NBC at the 2016 Rio Olympics and on HBO's forthcoming documentary “BS High.” She is currently co-directing a documentary about pickleball for Peter Berg's Film 45. Pilon previously was a staff reporter with The Times on the sports desk and at The Wall Street Journal, where she covered various aspects of business and finance. A native of Eugene, Ore., Mary started reporting for her hometown paper, the Register-Guard, as a teenager.If you're interested in getting a copy of this book, you can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.ca/Longest-Race-Inside-Deception-Running/dp/1982179147Support the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

Christopher England received his Ph.D. from Georgetown in 2015. His research and teaching focus on U.S. social movements, economic thought, and communications. He has taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Loyola University Maryland, and Stanford University. His forthcoming book, Land and Liberty: Henry George and the Crafting of Modern Liberalism, is scheduled to be published by Johns Hopkins University Press in February 2023. Land and Liberty traces the influence of the journalist Henry George, who argued that rising rents were the primary cause of economic inequality. England has been interviewed about his research for the upcoming PBS documentary The Monopolists and for articles in De Correspondent and Reason.  We discuss his book, Land and Liberty. Lars Doucet joins as a cohost for this episode.

Alles Neuland. Mit Felix, Felix, Markus und Ingo.

The Fed raised rates. Then suddenly there was a big sell-off in the markets, adding to Tom's argument that knowing the news cycle in advance has little to no effect on an efficient marketplace. Systems are put in place for a reason. But does that same efficiency push companies to establish monopolies to survive or is this an antiquated remnant of business practices that go back to the Industrial Revolution? Can it even sustain itself in a highly capitalistic world that is rife with competition, and does it even apply to today's modern markets? Tom equates monopolizing an industry as the go-to strategy of the big dumb animal (elephantine monopolies) - and the disruptors are the small but wily field mice. Those creative thinkers and entrepreneurs who live to disrupt and shake up those massive conglomerates to their core. And they often do. Those that try to hoard the entire pie instead of sharing with the masses are setting themselves up for extinction. Those innovators (field mice) will eventually and quite purposefully give them a run for their trillion-dollar money. Is the rate of innovation and subsequent lowering of barriers to entry forcing companies to seek a monopolistic advantage in order to insulate themselves from the competition? Insulation is, at best, a myth and, at worst, a house of cards. Tune in and hear Tom and Dylan figure it all out on this week's episode.

 On the back to the Fed decision to raise interest rates, Tom breaks down why knowing in advance what the Fed would say didn't matter. From there, Tom and Dylan take on whether or not companies have to become monopolies in order to survive. It isn't about dominating a specific business vertical anymore, it's about dominating a sector, like how Amazon dominates in the retail space. If you don't grow your monopolistic advantage, can you survive? Tune into this week's episode with Tom and Dylan

Today Amazon is an inescapable juggernaut. Back in 1994, it was just an idea, pitched by a former Wall Street banker named Jeff Bezos to disbelieving investors at the very birth of the internet era. Reporter Brad Stone, who has spent years chronicling the Amazon story, describes how the company almost flamed out the dot.bomb era and how Bezos rescued the company in part by ginning up two new lines of business – Prime shipping and its digital reader, the Kindle.

Welcome to Surviving Tomorrow, a podcast, newsletter, and publication that helps you navigate life in an age of democratic destruction, ecological collapse, and economic irrelevance, available for FREE on Substack, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Facebook, and Youtube.I'm your host, Jared A. Brock, and today we're going to discuss why the average house will cost $10 million within 50 years.But first, a personal update: I have a son! His name is Concord Thoreau Brock. Concord means “peace,” and Thoreau means “strength.” Concord is our favorite revolutionary town in America — home to the Alcotts (of Little Women fame), Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Hawthornes, and Henry David Thoreau, the father of environmentalism and philosopher whose pacifist writings inspired Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Michelle was in labor for a brutal 38 hours, 11 of which were spent at a pub. (It's a long and extremely British story.) She saw 28 medical personnel over 5 wards and 3 shift changes, and I recorded over 400 60+ second contractions recorded. In the end, we had one 8.0 pound baby boy, the first male of eleven grandbabies in the family, and the first boy born to our church in twelve years! We are now accepting offers for a pre-arranged marriage. I'm feeling extremely grateful for this gorgeous little gift, and absolutely astounded by the physical strength and spiritual fortitude of Michelle to endure the whole glorious ordeal. But I'm greatly troubled by the world Concord will grow up in. If we keep in our insane trajectory…He'll have to compete with robots for work.He'll have to navigate totalitarian social credit systems and surveillance currencies.He'll face resource shortages, extreme weather events, species collapses, and massive societal strains caused by climate change refugees.He'll witness the complete privatization of public services in the hands of the corporatocracy, and the cessation of the charade of democracy as the world descends into corporate oligarchy.Of course, his Daddy and many others are doing their best to fight against all of these corruptions and injustices, but there simply aren't enough leaders who understand the challenges that predator elites pose to human life and widespread flourishing.In that sense, having a child amidst this corrupt corporatocracy is part of our act of resistance. It's our declaration of hope against chance.One of Concord's biggest challenges will be affordable shelter. House prices are currently at an all-time high, but we are not in a real estate bubble — we're in a pricing paradigm shift.The old paradigm: A house's price is the maximum amount that an area's average local buyer can afford to mortgage over 25–40 years. But because wages have flatlined and purchasing parity is the same as in 1978, the only rational explanation for this current price explosion is a giant debt bubble… right?Wrong.The new paradigm: A house's value is now the maximum amount of annual rental income that can be extracted from it by a global investor, multiplied by maximal institutional leverage.It's the biggest paradigm shift in the history of human shelter, and it's the reason why the vast majority will never own a house in the future.Because our family homes are just future hedge fund investments.In 50 years, the average house will cost $10+ million.Most people think that's impossible, but I'll show you the exact math on how it's going to play out.Sure, there might be more real estate price crashes, but they'll just be bigger versions of 2008 — buying opportunities for the hyper-elites. Even with temporary price drops, expect overall prices to continue hard up-and-to-the-right for nine major reasons.1. Population is growingOur global family currently contains almost 7.9 billion, headed to 10.5 billion within fifty years. That's a 33% increase in the number of people who need to be housed. While this doesn't mean house prices will automatically increase by 33%, population growth does create more demand, which will certainly increase prices significantly.2. People are moving to citiesThe overall population will “only” rise by 33%, but look at the stats on where everyone is moving: Cities. 4 billion people currently live in urban areas, but that number is set to jump to 7 billion within 30 years and will hit 8 billion in fifty. So essentially housing demand where most people live will double. What will the average house cost when twice as many people are bidding on it?3. More people are living aloneMy grandma was raised in a farmhouse with a mom, dad, and a half-dozen siblings. My father-in-law was one of nine kids. Today, both of those homes probably contain less than four people. In major urban centers like New York, it's less than 2.4 people per unit and falling. As more people live alone, we'll need far more housing units. When there's more demand without adequate supply, prices increase.4. Multiple house ownershipLooking at you, small-time landlords and non-resident Airbnb hosts. More than 23 million American landlords own more than one house. That might seem like a lot, but what it actually means is that 115 million Americans don't get to own a home because a wealth-extractor owns two.“Airbnb-type models altered the market irreversibly by proving on a large scale that short term rentals were more lucrative than stable long-term residents.” — Valerie Kittell5. Housing construction isn't keeping upNot even close. The US housing supply has been underbuilt for over a decade, and we're building just six houses for every ten new households.Now add the fact that…6. Building costs are soaring amidst material shortagesLumber, paint, concrete, glass, labor, land… all rising faster than average wages. We live on a finite planet with limited resources, and those resources are becoming more expensive to extract. Accordingly, constructing new houses will continue to cost more and more.7. Real inflation is soaringIt's almost certainly 10+% per year. And real estate always tracks with inflation. These days, in fact, shelter prices are outpacing inflation; in Canada, real estate prices are up 40% since last year. Asset inflation in America is over 30% this year across the stock market and real estate market.Even without any of the other price-rise factors on this list, if rampant real estate inflation averages 7.5% for the next fifty years, inflation alone will send the average house price over $10 million.8. The monopolists are hereWhen you allow speculation and investment in residential real estate, you end up where every other capitalist sector ends up — with a handful of monopolists owning all the assets in the industry.If you study history, you see this happen with steel (Carnegie), railroads (Vanderbilt), oil (Rockefeller), banking (JP Morgan), online retail (Jeff Bezos), luxury goods (Bernard Arnault), web search (Google+Youtube's Larry Page and Sergey Brin), and so on.Monopolists will not stop until they are stopped.Obviously, up until this point in history, real estate has been a far harder market to corner because of the high upfront investment costs, but that's changed since the invention of…9. Outrageous leverage“A privileged class of investors are allowed to utilize the Fed and private banking system to print nearly infinite quantities of money via leverage, and use that money to out-bid first-time homebuyers who had to work for years to earn their money.” — Throop VonThis is where things get truly ugly. Once monopolies form, they utilize the power of financialization to drop an economic atomic bomb on their competition.Let's say a condo is for sale right now.A first-time buyer can afford maybe $1,200/month, so they're able to bid up to $250,000.A landlord can squeeze $1,250/month in rent from a long-term tenant. If they're expecting half their revenue to go to costs and want a 2.5% ROI. plus appreciation, they're willing to pay up to $300,000.A non-resident Airbnb host can fetch $2,500/month in nightly rent, double the long-term landlord. So they're willing to pay up to $600,000.A predacious hedge fund, like all monopolies, will shave those profit margins to near-nil to destroy competition. (Amazon's profit margin was negative for seven years while they killed off competitors.) So the hedge fund is willing to pay up to $1,200,000 to turn your house into a vacation property, nearly five times what the average person can afford.But here's the really insidious move: The monopoly will partner with banks that — thanks to a corporate-controlled government that constantly prints ultra-cheap money and lets them create credit out of thin air — allow them to leverage their positions to an absurd degree. The monopoly won't be paying $1.2 million for that house — they'll be betting

These days, in fact, shelter prices are outpacing inflation; in Canada, real estate prices are up 40% since last year. Asset inflation in America is over 30% this year across the stock market and real estate market.Even without any of the other price-rise factors on this list, if rampant real estate inflation averages 7.5% for the next fifty years, inflation alone will send the average house price over $10 million.8. The monopolists are hereWhen you allow speculation and investment in residential real estate, you end up where every other capitalist sector ends up — with a handful of monopolists owning all the assets in the industry.If you study history, you see this happen with steel (Carnegie), railroads (Vanderbilt), oil (Rockefeller), banking (JP Morgan), online retail (Jeff Bezos), luxury goods (Bernard Arnault), web search (Google+Youtube's Larry Page and Sergey Brin), and so on.Monopolists will not stop until they are stopped.Obviously, up until this point in history, real estate has been a far harder market to corner because of the high upfront investment costs, but that's changed since the invention of…9. Outrageous leverage“A privileged class of investors are allowed to utilize the Fed and private banking system to print nearly infinite quantities of money via leverage, and use that money to out-bid first-time homebuyers who had to work for years to earn their money.” — Throop VonThis is where things get truly ugly. Once monopolies form, they utilize the power of financialization to drop an economic atomic bomb on their competition.Let's say a condo is for sale right now.* A first-time buyer can afford maybe $1,200/month, so they're able to bid up to $250,000.* A landlord can squeeze $1,250/month in rent from a long-term tenant. If they're expecting half their revenue to go to costs and want a 2.5% ROI plus appreciation, they're willing to pay up to $300,000.* A non-resident Airbnb host can fetch $2,500/month in nightly rent, double the long-term landlord. So they're willing to pay up to $600,000.* A predacious hedge fund, like all monopolies, will shave those profit margins to near-nil to destroy competition. (Amazon's profit margin was negative for seven years while they killed off competitors.) So the hedge fund is willing to pay up to $1,200,000 to turn your house into a vacation property, nearly five times what the average person can afford.* But here's the really insidious move: The monopoly will partner with banks that — thanks to a corporate-controlled government that constantly prints ultra-cheap money and lets them create credit out of thin air — allow them to leverage their positions to an absurd degree. The monopoly won't be paying $1.2 million for that house — they'll be betting

Today on The Dossier Podcast, we discussed the dangerous amount of influence that Bill Gates personally wields over American and global “public health” policy. Everything from failed COVID modeling to “the science” (junk science) behind lockdowns, masks, and the like tracks back to Gates money and Gates influence.For more on this topic, read my piece on the Gates network in The Dossier: Get full access to The Dossier at dossier.substack.com/subscribe

The inside story of the world's most famous board game-a buried piece of American history with an epic scandal that continues today. The Monopolists: Obsession, Fury, and the Scandal Behind the World's Favorite Board Game (Bloomsbury, 2015) reveals the unknown story of how Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins. Most think it was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust. A gripping social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, The Monopolists reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers.

Journalist Mary Pilon, in her page-turning book The Monopolists, hunts down the true story of the woman who invented the most popular board game in the world. Monopoly inventor and forgotten feminist Lizzie Magie died in 1948, thinking she was a failure, having received a total of $500 for the rights to her game. We hear about Magie's vision and mission for the game, as well as her futile fight to defend her work and legacy, which Pilon resolutely revives from the sidelines of history.
