In an oligarchy, political power rests with a small privileged group. Oligarchs may exercise power directly or indirectly, but they often act out of selfish or corrupt motives. This book examines the history of oligarchy, which was first described by the ancient Greeks more than 2, 300 years ago. The book also asks whether today’s superrich constitute a new oligarchy that threatens to undermine American democracy.
