Oligarchy… Basically

What happens when only a few people always win? In this course, we explore oligarchy, the concentration of power in the hands of a few. You’ll see how it shows up in politics, business, and even technology, shaping markets and blocking competition. We’ll unpack real-world examples, from extreme wealth gaps to corporate lobbying. By the end, you’ll understand how oligarchic systems work, why they matter, and what they mean for fairness, innovation, and opportunity.
