The Anti-Monopolist
December 1, 2025
In this reprint of a Seattle Weekly article from 2004, Knute Berger details a game of Monopoly played among friends, including Robert W. McChesney and John Bellamy Foster, while students at The Evergreen College. With sly insight, Berger shows how Foster and McChesney's antics as board game robber barons revealed McChesney's perceptive analysis of the media landscape under capitalism and his passionate advocacy for democratic, monopoly-free media.
