Question:

Choose the one word that best expresses the meaning of: A government ruled by the wealthy.

1.
democracy
2.
plutocracy
3.
aristocracy
4.
oligarchy

Correct Answer: plutocracy

"Plutocracy" is rule by the wealthy (from Greek "ploutos," wealth). "Aristocracy" is rule by a noble class — the close trap, since wealth and nobility often overlap but are not the same criterion. "Oligarchy" is rule by a small group on any basis.
