Plutocracy is the "rule of money": rich people dominate society and politics.
Oligarchy is when a few people share political power, at the expense of everyone else.
Aristocracy, although it can be an oligarchy, is the rule of the elite, under a social class system. Most often it is used to refer to the rule of royalty or nobility, although some say money is forming a new aristocracy.
A bureaucracy is a form of government in which the large number of small officials (who work their way to becoming useful officials through tests) work under higher officials to provide efficient ruling of a large area. This was mostly used in pre-20th century China.
