Is the U.S. really an oligarchy? "The paper is a provocative one, and there's sure to be a lot of debate among political scientists about whether it wholly supports the authors' claims....There can be no doubt that economic elites have a disproportionate influence in Washington, or that their views and interests distort policy in ways that don't necessarily benefit the majority: the politicians all know this, and we know it, too. The only debate is about how far this process has gone, and whether we should refer to it as oligarchy or as something else." John Cassidy in The New Yorker.
