Yang, Xin; Dunham, Yarrow – Developmental Science, 2022
Past work suggests that children have an overly rosy view of rich people that stays consistent across childhood.

Darr, Benjamin J.; Cohen, Alexander H. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2016
Sociologists have long recognized the utility of modified forms of Monopoly as tools for teaching about social stratification within the United States. We present an adaptation of Monopoly to help instructors teach students how capitalism plays out in a liberalizing world economy. By taking on roles as CEOs of global companies based in different…
