Oligarchy can be classified into two types as the old and the new. The old is based on families that are old and established and have accumulated large holdings, and wherein succession is by birthright. The new is the neuvo-rich that is comprised of some families, but primarily in these times, it is the power of the corporations that are owned by numerous individuals, but that are controlled by the few. The oligarchy exists world wide within every country, excepting for the socialist nations such as Cuba or China, where a primary goal is to get rid of the oligarchies. However it seems to be the case, that new oligarchies come into being within the state government apparatus. This is natural to government policy that is stated as materialist. The oligarchies of various countries often contend with one another as imperialist ambitions.Capitalism (15 of 16) Next Page
