Exit Capitalism! A New Board Game, Episode 30

Ceteris Never Paribus: The History of Economic Thought Podcast

Guest: François Allisson (Centre Walras-Pareto, University of Lausanne) Host and Producer: Maria Bach (Centre Walras-Pareto, University of Lausanne) In this episode, I invited François Allisson to talk to us about a game he made with some of his students called Sortons du capitalisme ! or Exit Capitalism! in English. Two cards from the game. Translation of titles: Trust Fund Baby (left) and The Theory of the Dress (right). For further explanation in English, listen to the episode. Thanks to Justine Loulergue, Thomas Bouchet, Etienne Furrer and Sina Badiei for agreeing to be recorded when we played the game at the Walras-Pareto Centre at the University of Lausanne. The other games referred to in the podcast are KAPITAL and Class Struggle. To check out the history of Monopoly referred to at the end, listen here.
