"Plutocracy" is the term for "Financial Oligarchy" BTW. Worth knowing the term if you live in the U.S. since that's kinda what we have here these days :/

Hold on, let me go watch a 30 min YouTube video to understand these terms

Ok, after that we need to start a course on the classical republics from Athens to Rome.

Then we'll take a short break and continue with the Italian merchant republics and the Hanseatic League.

Thanks for the term! Made finding a good page for understanding it (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutocracy) much more simple! Greatly appreciated :D
