MONOPOLY! THE REAL STORY BEHIND AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR GAME


In this webinar, Mary Pilon, author of The Monopolists reveals the unknown story of how the famed 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.

This interactive talk will dive into the gripping social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, and draw some interesting parallels with new developments in today’s market place.

The presentation will be followed by a community Q&A.
