Monopoly is designed to be unbalanced on purpose. It’s mostly derived from the Landlord’s Game that was made to be a political education tool about the accumulation of land and real estate in a few private hands.
In a really cynical turn of events, Hasbro (or whatever company came before) ripped of the woman who made The Landlord’s Game to make monopoly and made billions in the process.

That doesn’t make it a good game. They don’t give it away for free at Economics classes, it’s sold worldwide by Hasbro!

The irony is too damn high.
