How Societies Drift Toward Oligarchy is a thoughtful and accessible work of political nonfiction about wealth concentration, public institutions, democratic fragility, and the slow movement from public responsiveness toward rule by concentrated power.

Oligarchy does not always arrive as a dramatic overthrow of democracy. A society may still hold elections, maintain courts, operate legislatures, publish news, and preserve the language of public rule while political influence quietly becomes more unequal. The drift can happen through ordinary channels: campaign finance, lobbying, tax policy, legal advocacy, media ownership, philanthropy, weakened labor power, regulatory capture, and the hollowing of public institutions.
