NEW TO ME (no.11)
Corporatocracy, used by one Barry Ritholtz on The Keiser Report (Russia Today) to describe the way in which the United States of America is (are?) governed. I've never heard it before, but the word has a wikipedia entry.
I don't favour Latin-Greek hybrids, but is there an all-Greek alternative? Syssomatomenocracy? Hardly rolls off the tongue, and probably doesn't have the same meaning anyway.
Bueaucracy, OK; corporatocracy too, I suppose.
