This week's word in the news: OLIGARCHY
DEFINITION:
Government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes.
FOUND IN THE NEWS:
President Joe Biden used his farewell address to the nation Wednesday to deliver stark warnings of an “oligarchy” of the ultra-wealthy taking root in the country and of a “tech-industrial complex” that is infringing on Americans’ rights and the future of democracy.
