What the Hell Is...?: The Oligarchy

What exactly is oligarchy, where does it come from, and why does it matter? In this brief introduction, the nature of oligarchy - rule of the many by the wealthy few - is examined, along with its origins, its history in the United States, and its impact on the nation’s economy, politics, and society.
