Everything I Know About Business I Learned from Monopoly. Alan Axelrod.
Everything I Know About Business I Learned from Monopoly. Alan Axelrod.2002. ISBN 0762413271. I picked this up as I had enjoyed the same author’s books on Patton and Elizabeth I. He has a light breezy style. But nothing prepared me for this. Yes, I learned more about Monopoly the board game, and his treatise does make sense, but I read this with an ongoing “he really has to be kidding” sense of disbelief. The game metaphor is in some cases way too overpowering. Perhaps it was the juxtapositions with having recently read about Rupert Murdoch, but my normal disbelief was seriously compromised. So, if you can not reach me in the next few days, I just may be closing in on acquiring Marvin Gardens (greens are a desirable street), while creating a housing shortage (there are not enough to go around) because the game is not so much about winning as ensuring that the other players lose. Get it from the library since there is a better Monopoly strategy book, Philip Orbanes, The Monopoly Companion.
