Plutocracy

I found this on Crooks and Liars today:

Once you start treating it as a business, you know once you start turning over government operations to the market you’re not talking about democracy any more. What you’re talking about is plutocracy. Rule by the wealthy. Rule by the market.

-- Thomas Frank

Thomas Frank has written a book called The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule .

He was also on the Colbert Report. You can see it right here.
