Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

WATCH: Adjunct faculty typically aren’t offered employer-sponsored health insurance, leaving many to rely on the Affordable Care Act for coverage. With subsidies set to end, professor Thomas Moomjy & others may face sharply higher premiums - or be forced to go without.
