Oligarchy is basically when the power of government rests with a small elite segment of society. I can't help but think that's what we are seeing right here in the U.S.A. Here is some suggested reading: Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone describes how AIG, Citibank, Goldman-Sachs and friends got us into the financial meltdown we are hearing so much about. Meanwhile Paul Craig Roberts over at Counterpunch explains how Obama and friends are probably getting it all wrong. IMHO, a healthy dose of socialism is probably in order right about now. And some convictions.
