    Hmm, you’ve got a point. The lesson Monopoly is designed to teach isn’t “make sure to invest your money,” it’s “land-grabbing is evil and landlords are parasites.”

    Characterizing this metaphor as “‘grind’ mindset” is maybe a stretch, though.

      Whoever thought this metaphor works to explain the “grind mindset” is dumb and completely missed the point of monopoly.

      They accidentally made the anti-work argument.
