Isocracy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other use of the term "Isocracy" see Isocracy (band).

An isocracy is a form of government where all citizens have equal political power. The term derives from Greek "ισος" meaning "equal" and "κρατειν" meaning "to have power", or "to rule".

Isocracy should be incompatible with gerrymandering by class, as at ancient Athens or Rome.^{[citation needed]}

Socialism has been described as social isocracy, on the grounds that the influence of wealth prevents genuine equality.^{[citation needed]}
