Monopoly’s Anti-Capitalist, Socialist Roots as a Teaching Game at Wharton
Games can and have been used as very effective educational tools.
The original post is here: http://simulations.wharton.upenn.edu/201...“A virtue of gaming that is sometimes overlooked by those seeking grander goals is its unparalleled advantages in training and educational programs. A game can easily be made fascinating enough to put over the dullest facts. To sit down and play through a game is to be convinced as by no argument, however persuasively presented.”
