Democracy has no automatic setting.
It takes the people keeping informed and being able to see whos lying to them.
There is no auto setting for capitalism either.
It will devolve into one guy owning everything.
That is why the game monopoly was invented so that children could learn for themselves how unrestrained capitalism works out in the end.
Some never learned the lesson.
You occasionally show flashes of intelligence. Then you blow it.
FYI, Monopoly is not about capitalism, it is about real estate and landlords.
Kind of a matter of a micro -vs- a macro way of looking at that game with neither view being 'wrong', if you ask me.
Just saying...
Could be.
Except the game was originally called "The Landlord's Game" and was meant to teach about how rents enriched landowners and impoverished tenants.

Real estate is actually simple enough to turn into a board game with simple rules.
