The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In a political system where nearly every adult may vote but where knowledge, wealth, social position, access to government officials, and other resources are unequally distributed, who actually governs?

This is the beginning of the book "The New Gilded Age: From Uniqual Democracy, written by Larry M. Bartles."

That question is posed by Robert Dahl, a scholar, and political writer.

The answer would be that in a scenario like the one described in the question, it is the political and economic power that governs in reality.  

It is the men of money, the businessmen, the corporation, the political influencers through political action committees. Yes, the big money corporations that hire lobbyists to negotiate with congressmen to pass laws that favor their interests.

As a result of economic growth during the 1950s, the percentage of Americans who were in the middle class
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
When I wrote about the crisis of unemployment in Europe, I received a great deal of feedback. Europeans agreed that this is the core problem while Americans argued that the United States has the same problem, asserting that U.S. unemployment is twice as high as the government's official unemployment rate. My counterargument is that unemployment in the United States is not a problem in the same sense that it is in Europe because it does not pose a geopolitical threat. The United States does not face political disintegration from unemployment, whatever the number is. Europe might.
