Plutocracy

Review: Plutocracy: Chronicles of a Global Monopoly

It’s 2051 and the world’s largest company, The Company, has seized power on a planetary scale. There is one corporation. There is one world government. Elections have been replaced by shareholders’ meetings and the Government is made up of those who own the most shares.

This is the story of a man who wants to discover how this all came to be.

Plutocracy: Chronicles of a Global Monopoly is a fascinating graphic novel that questions the wall between government and business and free will and marketing.
