Ruthless: Monopoly's Secret History (2023)

The game you know. The story you don't.

Genre: Documentary

Released: 2023-02-20

Runtime: 52 min.

America’s favorite board game, Monopoly, is a love letter to unbridled capitalism and the impulses that make our free-market society tick. Contrary to the folksy legend spread by Parker Brothers, Monopoly’s origin involves a radical feminist and a community of Quakers in Atlantic City. If not for the determination of an economics professor and impassioned anti-monopolist, the real story behind the creation of the game might never have come to light.
