n. "government by the best men," from Greek aristarkhia, from aristos "best" (see aristocracy) + -arkhia (see -archy).
As far as I can tell, Chris, these are all real words Some "archys" or "ocracies" could also be real -if there were examples in the real world or at least in literature. My 'invention' is "scholarocracy." Government by scholars. Suppose it was in the interest of a nation (or several nations) to create a special university for elites. Maybe to ensure a supply of talent for a regime or a consortium of regimes. This would become a 'state, call it Braintrustland. To rule this nation the scholars who run the university constitute the government. Hence scholarocracy, or scholocracy. ________________________________ From: Centroids <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2018 8:48 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Billy Rojas Subject: Re: [RC] Forms of Government Wow.
