MashableReads THE MONOPOLISTS by Mary Pilon

Mary Pilon will join us for a discussion of her new book THE MONOPOLISTS (http://www.amazon.com/The-Monopolists-Obsession-Scandal-Favorite/dp/1608199630), which tells the true story of the classic American board game. As Parker Brothers tells it, Monopoly was invented by a poor man during the Great Depression. The true story, however, goes all the way back to the 19th century and a feminist named Lizzie Magie.

A tale of greed and corporate schemings appropriate to the game of Monopoly itself, THE MONOPOLISTS is a brand new story about an old companion. We hope you enjoy reading it and can come to our discussion with the author! As always, there will be food, drink and great conversation!
