Monopoly Night at McSweeney’s
December 16th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
Looking for a simple explanation for the financial meltdown? Look no further than Jon Methven's delightful 'letter' on McSweeney's: The Economic Crisis Hits the Markson Family Monopoly Board.
"I believe our major issue was the housing crisis, which began with your properties on Ventnor Avenue and Marvin Gardens. But in order to put that in context it's important that we first discuss the children's inflationary habits. I realize Bethany is only 6, and you find it cute that she writes "$5,000" in crayon on the backs of the Chance and Community Chest cards when she runs out of funds and uses them to purchase houses, but, if you recall, that is exactly what led to the inflation that crippled our Friday fun."
