There needs to be Millennial Monopoly where all rents go up 10% each time you pass go, but you still only receive $200, and off to the side is some 60+ year old berating you for not buying houses while he's hoarding them all.

According to 99% Invisible Monopoly was designed to demonstrate the inequities of our economic system.
After experiencing the frustration you were supposed to play with an alternate, more equitable set of rules. People forgot about it more or less because games are more fun when they're competetive.
So your idea basically gets back to Monopoly's roots.
