An oligarchy is a control system of in which a small groups are in charge (rule by a few). It can be believed that any system eventually evolves into an oligarchy (the iron law of oligarchy).According to this school of thought, 21st Century democracies should be considered as oligarchies because the actual differences between viable political rivals are small, the oligarchic elite impose strict limits on what constitutes an acceptable and respectable political position, and politicians' careers depend heavily on unelected economic and media elites. Thus the popular phrase: there is only one political party, the incumbent party.Corporate of Foundational oligarchy is a form of power, governmental or operational, where power effectively rests with a small, elite group of inside individuals, sometimes from a small group of educational institutions, or influential economic entities or devices, such as banks, commercial entities that act in complicity with, or at the whim of the oligarchy, often with little or no regard for governmental or constitutionally protected prerogative.It is difficult to quantify all systems or that contain established oligarchies. Often, the oligarchy will not be openly admitted, but must be perceived through the actions of its sustainers and institutions involved in the outcome.Examples of current day oligarchies are most governmental and economic entities.

An oligarchy is a government where the power is centered among a small number of people. To gain a place in this type of government requires that either by wealth or family ties one can generate support among the members and join the oligarchy. Generally speaking, unless one has some kind of powerful relation to members of the ruling oligarchy such such as those just mentioned, it would be extremely difficult to become a member of the oligarchical centers of power. If a number of "outsiders" of the oligarchy desire to become part of such a governmental scheme, or in fact displace the current oligarchy with a new one, then a revolution would be the way to do this.
