One of the educational programs was the game now
known as Monopoly. It was originally fraught with
political and economic references, before Parker
Brothers sanitized it in 1935. For example, the
reason for the "go to jail" square was that you
had trespassed on a rich man's estate.
Now that I think about it, there were other
"economic" games when I was growing up, back in
the dark ages. One was called "Pit," named after
the "pit" of the Chicago Commodity Exchange. The
object of the game was to corner the market in
wheat, corn, or some other commodity before any one else in the game.
