>It is zero sum, because no intentional action can increase wealth
It's a probability game. The action of buying a property increases wealth proportionate to the risk of someone landing on it, hence that intentional action increases wealth as a function.
That doesn't make the game zero sum, especially when you add in the variable income bits of passing go or mortgaging properties.
