Sorrel, Charlie (9 February 2011). "New Electronic Monopoly with Evil, All-Seeing Tower". Wired . Retrieved 17 June 2013. Parker Brothers was acquired by General Mills in February 1968. [124] The first Monopoly edition in Braille is published in 1973. [125] Also in 1973, as the Atlantic City Commissioner of Public Works considered name changes for Baltic and Mediterranean Avenues, fans of the board game, with support from the president of Parker Brothers, successfully lobbied for the city to keep the names. [126] After Parker Brothers was taken over by General Mills, the Monopoly license to Waddingtons was renegotiated (as was the Clue/ Cluedo license to Parker Brothers/General Mills by Waddingtons). [127] By 1974, Parker Brothers had sold 80 million sets of the game. [128] In 1975, another anniversary edition was produced, but this edition came in a cardboard box looking much like a standard edition. [123] Parker Brothers was under management by General Mills as the first six Monopoly Tournaments were held.

Passing Go: Early Monopoly, 1933–1937 by "Clarence B. Darwin" (pseudonym for David Sadowski), Folkopoly Press, River Forest, Illinois. Photograph on p. 197. The most significant distinction between a PC company and a monopoly is that the monopoly has a downward-sloping demand curve rather than the "perceived" perfectly elastic curve of the PC company. [29] Practically all the variations mentioned above relate to this fact. If there is a downward-sloping demand curve then by necessity there is a distinct marginal revenue curve. The implications of this fact are best made manifest with a linear demand curve. Assume that the inverse demand curve is of the form x = a − b y {\displaystyle x=a-by} . Then the total revenue curve is TR = a y − b y 2 {\displaystyle {\text{TR}}=ay-by
In Austria, versions of the game first appeared as Business and Spekulation ( Speculation), and eventually evolved to become Das Kaufmännische Talent (DKT) ( The Businessman's Talent). Versions of DKT have been sold in Austria since 1940. The game first appeared as Monopoly in Austria in about 1981. [92] The Waddingtons edition was imported into The Netherlands starting in 1937, and a fully translated edition first appeared in 1941. [93]
