World history and politics explained through Monopoly

jane-e found this link for me in a digression to the "New Zealand"-thread, but I think it deserves its own thread. Social psychologist Paul Piff explains what a rigged game of Monopoly can reveal about…just about everything.

As psychology experiments go, this one should be right up there with Stanley Milgram's famous electric shock/obedience experiment. It should make us all stop and think.
