It’s a critique of capitalism, there not being many choices and alway accruing capital that’s limited in supply is the exact point of the game.

100% true. Note that I was responding to someone who called it quick and fun, so the lack of choices seemed like a relevant point there.

True that, it can be boring, personally I own an expanded version called Cheaters Monopoly, that one has some fun stuff like there is a card that says to not say anything, just take 150 from the bank and if anyone questions what you are doing they owe you 100. When in jail you literally get a handcuff put on you thats connected to the board and if you manage to take it off without anyone noticing and a player makes completes his turn you can get out of jail for free, you can steal houses and hotels and with the same rule if no one notices you can place it on your property.

Real life is still worse though. Imagine being added to an already-in-progress game of Monopoly where you start with no money and everyone else already has hotels on every property.

Games have to put playability over realism even if they are trying to make a point. You can randomize the initial money for each player if you want the full experience.
