Oligarchy is a form of government where most political power rests with a small segment of society (i.e. the most powerful, whether by wealth, military strength, ruthlessness, or political influence). Oligarchy is from the Greek for "few" and "rule." Some theorists argue that all societies are inevitably oligarchies no matter the supposed political system.
