That was the point of the original game though right? To show how quickly it becomes imbalanced and players who got lucky early on easily ended up winning.

Monopoly is derived from The Landlord's Game, created in 1903 in the United States by left-wing feminist Lizzie Magie, as a way to demonstrate that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth.
