Yes, an ergotocracy is a form of government where power is held by those who are wealthy or possess significant economic resources. The term "ergot" refers to wealth or resources, indicating that the ruling class derives its authority from economic status. In such a system, the interests of the affluent often dominate political decisions, leading to policies that favor the rich over the broader population.
Rule by the rich is called oligarchy. The term is applied to any society which is ruled by the rich, not just the Roman republic. It is a term which comes from Greek.

An ergotocracy is not a widely recognized term in political science, but if interpreted literally, it could imply a system of governance led by the working class. The term "ergot" suggests a focus on labor or work, which aligns with the idea of a working-class rule. However, the more established term for a government led by the working class is "proletariat dictatorship," as seen in Marxist theory. Thus, while an ergotocracy might conceptually align with working-class leadership, it is not a standard term for such a system.
