The word kleptocracy, as I first learned of it, was attributed to one of the more popular ancient Greek philosophers. I do not recall which one specifically however, and now it seems that the internet search engines want to feign ignorance, and obscure the true word origin for some odd reason. But as far as I know, it's from ancient Greek philosophy.
I love the word! Is this coined by you?
It dates back to at least 1819.
I wonder why no one uses it? The Kleptarchs police language?
