	Monopoly - Lizzie J. Magie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		On March 23, 1903, Lizzie J. Magie, a young Quaker woman living in Virginia, applied to the US Patent Office for a patent on a board game she had invented as an easy, fun-filled method of teaching the evils of land monopolism.
		Lizzie Magie was an ardent follower of the single tax movement originated by Philadelphia-born Henry George, who began preaching in San Francisco circa 1869 that the economic rent of land and the unearned increase in land values profited a few individuals rather than the majority of the people, whose very existence produced the land values.
		The board for Lizzie Magie's game bears a striking resemblance to the one now labeled "Monopoly", except that names, drawings, colors and the like are different.

	Anti-Monopoly
		Lizzie Magie belonged to a tax movement led by Philadelphia-born Henry George; the movement supported the theory that the renting of land and real estate produced an unearned increase in land values that profited a few individuals (landlords) rather than the majority of the people (tenants).
		Lizzie Magie wanted to use her game, which she called "The Landlord's Game" as a teaching device for George's ideas.
		Lizzie was not interested in profiting from the game but was happy that a major company distributed it.

	The History of Toys and Games
		Magie, a Quaker, was a firm believer in the single-tax theory's basic tenet, that a person's taxes should be based on the amount of land that he owned, a popular idea around the turn of the century.
		Magie kept up with the changes that wider play made in her game, by adapting the rules to allow improving properties, naming the properties, and giving players higher rents if they owned a monopoly.
		In 1924, Magie attempted to interest George Parker in purchasing the rights to her improved game, but was turned town on the basis that her game was too political.

	:: Monopoly ::
		Sixty-five years after Nearing first played Lizzie Magie's game, he explained in a letter to Ralph Anspach: "The game was used to prove the anti-social nature of monopoly."
		The main change was that instead of merely paying rent when landing on a property block, the players could hold an auction to buy it.
		They also made their own game boards so that they could replace the properties designated by Lizzie Maggie with properties in their own cities and states; this made playing more realistic.

	Monopolizing Monopoly
		Magie was a firm believer in the “single tax,” a then-popular idea whereby all government services would be funded by a single tax, on land alone.
		Next, Parker Brothers bought Lizzie Magie’s patent on The Landlord’s Game, since that game was the direct precursor of Monopoly and a court could very conceivably have ruled that Magie owned the rights to Monopoly.
		The now gray-haired Magie had remained steadfast in her beliefs; she was uninterested in money but wanted The Landlord’s Game to reach a wider audience due to the social and political lessons it could teach.

	GirlHacker's Random Log
		Although official company history only mentions Charles Darrow as the inventor, Monopoly was based on earlier games, most notably The Landlord's Game invented by Lizzie J. Magie, a Virginia woman who received a patent for the game in 1904.
		Magie's game was meant to teach the economic philosophy of Henry George, proponent of the "single tax." It evolved as it spread, ending up markedly different in its goals.

		A frequently cited example: in 1904, Georgist (that is, a supporter of political economist Henry George) Lizzie Magie patented a game called "The Landlord's Game" with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants.
		She knew that some people could find it hard to understand why this happened and what might be done about it, and she thought that if Georgist ideas were put into the concrete form of a game, they might be easier to demonstrate.
