Ruthless: Monopoly's Secret History

| Full Documentary | American Experience | PBS

Dec 3, 2024

For generations, Monopoly has been America’s favorite board game, a love letter to unbridled capitalism and — for better or worse — the impulses that make our free-market society tick. But behind the myth of the game’s creation is an untold tale of theft, obsession and corporate double-dealing. Contrary to the folksy legend spread by Parker Brothers, Monopoly’s secret history is a surprising saga that features a radical feminist, a community of Quakers in Atlantic City, America’s greatest game company, and an unemployed Depression-era engineer. And the real story behind the creation of the game might never have come to light if it weren’t for the determination of an economics professor and impassioned anti-monopolist.

Part detective story, part sharp social commentary and part pop-culture celebration,
RUTHLESS: MONOPOLY’S SECRET HISTORY presents the fascinating true story
behind America’s favorite game.

1964: ARTHUR C CLARKE predicts the FUTURE

| Horizon | Past Predictions | BBC Archive

"The only thing we can be sure of about the future, is that it will be absolutely fantastic. So, if what I say now seems to you to be very reasonable, then I will have failed completely" - Arthur C Clarke.

The science-fiction writer and futurist Arthur C Clarke undertakes that most impossible and unrewarding of tasks - attempting to accurately predict the future. What will the world of tomorrow look like? Will the inhabitants of the future have monkey butlers? Yes, according to Mr Clarke, but only until they unionise...

do (one's) heart good

To please one, especially by placing them in a more positive mental or emotional state; to ease one's mind.

— i.e. —
Does my heart good to watch my new friend's videos ...
And i highly recommend them, whether starting or ending your day.
