Bankocracy is a form of government where banks and other financial institutions have political power to rule.

History

  • The term Bankocracy was first used in 1797 by the Scottish deputy and soldier William Fullarton, in which he stated that "It is Bankocracy which threatens the destruction of the social order... negotiations and peace". Subsequently, several authors and writers on the left have already used the ruling system as a derogatory term, the most notable being: Proudhon, Bakunin and Marx. It is also used in Marxist economics as a way of describing finance capitalism.

Currently, this term is used in a derogatory way by populists to describe the European Union and various financial crises, and some have used it in a derogatory way to capitalism.

  • The term Trapezocracy appeared in 2011 by the Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis in his writings. The term has the same meaning as Bankocracy, so much so that trapezo comes from the Greek trápeza (τράπεζα) which means bank. Later, the term gained popularity in the Occupy Wall Street protests and is currently used (not a lot, but it is used) derogatory to capitalist economy and neoliberalism.

Personality and Behaviour

Acts like a stereotypical banker from movies and tv shows. How positive or negative depends on the writer.
