Next time you want to frame the rich as evil or the problem for all ills in society remember this statistic. The wealthiest 1.4 percent of Americans are responsible for 86 percent of all charitable donations.
@freemo Hyper-capitalism and Monopoly share the same flaw. Academics call it the Mathew Effect. Gamers call it the Runaway Leader Problem. This is when whoever is in the lead continuously increases their lead because they have more resources. In Monopoly, as in capitalism, that resource is money. The more money you have, the more properties you can buy and the more Hotels you can build. The additional properties and Hotels lead to increased income, which leads to more properties and Hotels. And so on. At some point, the leader doesn’t even need to play well. They become too rich to lose.
