Oligopoly Board Game Cartoon - Economic Competition Satire #3633496 (License: Personal Use)

The black-and-white cartoon shows four characters gathered around a board game titled “OLIGOPOLY,” a pun on oligopoly and Monopoly. One seated figure represents the lone customer, while three others-including one holding the box-embody competing banks, illustrating how consumers often face concentrated market power. The caption underscores the imbalance: “One player is the customer, and the banks play against him.”

This image is commonly used in economics education, business ethics discussions, or critiques of financial systems to visualize market concentration and consumer disadvantage. It appeals to users seeking visual metaphors for antitrust issues, corporate power, or financial literacy content.
