  • Summary

  • Cautionary Tales returns with new episodes on January 10th.

    Lizzie J. Magie (played by Helena Bonham Carter) should be celebrated as the inventor of what would become Monopoly. But, even though she had a patent, her role in creating the smash hit board game was cynically ignored.

    Discrimination has marred the careers of many inventors and excluded others from the innovation economy entirely. Could crediting forgotten figures such as Lizzie Magie help change that?

Fascinating

Informative, interesting and very thought provoking. Yet another example of why we should study things to try to improve our futures.
