The Money Game

‎‎
The idiom "money game" playfully denotes various monetary aspects of society, but what if we took this phrase literally?

This three-part essay argues that society broadly qualifies for "game-hood," where obtaining money is the principal objective. It explores the nature of the game as compulsory, its game-hood hidden in plain sight. It then proposes that one can (and should), without contradiction, "play to win" while holding ideals for rewriting (or abolishing) the playbook.
