Plutocracy
I read Linda Nagata's fairly new book The Trials today. Linda's book is set in a future USA in which various rich people, collectively known as dragons, have subverted democracy and rule the US. Chuck Gannon uses multi-national corporations as a conduit for his Big Bad in his "Fire" trilogy. It sounds far-fetched.
But then comes word that the recent scandal about poor care at the US Veteran's Administration was created largely out of whole cloth by a pair of rich conservatives for personal gain. Sometimes science fiction becomes science fact.
