The board game Monopoly was originally based on the Landlord's Game by Elizabeth Magie, which was intended to show how property ownership ruins free market capitalism. Land can't be created or moved, so is not a free market (according to Adam Smith). People are forced to pay extortionate rents and have no way to escape. Not widely known at the time or now, so perhaps not a very successful example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_(game)#Early_history |
