	Plutocracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A plutocracy is a form of government where all the state's decisions are centralized in an affluent wealthy class of citizenry, and the degree of economic inequality is high while the level of social mobility is low.
		Plutocracies typically emerge as one of the first governing systems within a territory after a period of anomie.
		Plutocracy is closely related to aristocracy as a form of government, since wealth and high social status have been closely associated throughout history.

	Plutocracy - dKosopedia
		Plutocracy can be the resultant state of many conceivable political systems.
		A key issue in preventing plutocracy is the question of what sort of governmental system ensures that wealth and power is not ceded to the public operators of a government as private individuals.
		And perhaps most fundamentally, the topic of plutocracy raises the question of "how much or what kind of disproportionate advantage should the wealthy have in a governmental system?", and subsequently "how much should be tolerated?".

	Plutocracy
		Plutocracy is a novel of society and a novel of ideas, a novel of manners and a novel of history, a novel of romance and realism, laced with classic literary and historical allusions, various modes that in the best moments feed off one another contrapuntally, augmenting and enhancing their effects.
		Moreover, Plutocracy is a prime direct descendent of what may be, according to Kenneth Rexroth, the greatest of all satires, The Satyricon, known for its ridicule of opulent decadence, primarily in the form of the ludicrous debauched tycoon, Trimalchio, depicted in the novel-length extant fragment of the massive original.
		Plutocracy is neither a satiric epic of evil nor of heroism but an unsettled swirl of competing thematic foci and genres.

	Commentary :: More class warfare...and we're losing
		The political apparatus in a state controlled by his brother and aided by a cousin with a crucial role in the media manipulated a supposedly democratic election to win the presidency despite the larger vote for his opponent.
		This little exercise in stifling democracy had all the necessary ingredients for the rise of plutocracy-- inherited wealth and status, powerful connections to others in the plutocratic class, access to huge financial backing, all wearing a benign mask.
		These are some of the immediate issues that we face in the effort to stem the drift toward plutocracy.

		Some would argue that a real corporatocracy can only appear when (and if) a government makes it legal to bribe politicians.

		Our current plutocracy is not simply the result of irresponsible wealthy corporations and individuals corrupting our once-sacred democracy over recent decades.
