FinanzAristokratie

Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly
towards aristocratic forms. No government in history has
ever been known to avoid this pattern. And as the
aristocracy develops, the government tends more and more to
act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class-
whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of
financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.
