Conclusion Board games and speeches have one thing in common: at the beginning, nobody knows exactly how long they will take. The longest-ever game of Monopoly is said to have lasted over 1,680 hours, or 70 days. Don’t worry – my speech will not be that long – for I am coming to the conclusion now.
Monopoly may be a fun game to play, but in the end there can be only one winner and many losers. Thankfully, this is not how our social market economy works. However, it needs clear rules and a fair referee. This is where the state comes into play.
