I know The Landlord’s Game/Monopoly and Class Struggle, are there any others?
I looked it up on reddit, and there were some interesting games, but the usual cringe.

The Landlord’s Game is Georgist, and kind of a bad board game.
Georgism sounds like Adam Smith’s ideal capitalism. I personally own the game, but somehow have yet to play.
If you ever get around to playing it, don’t let anyone introduce house rules that keep money in the game or otherwise slow it down (e.g. fees paid to the bank get picked up by the player that next lands on Free Parking, skipping the auction phase on unpurchased properties). Maybe consider setting a time limit, too.
I don’t know anyone who’s played it so I’m not too worried. It seems like those are just people trying to make it more monopoly-like. It’s pretty easy to just say “this isn’t monopoly.”
