"ruling power" "he who has the gold, makes the rules"
I have two questions? The first one is: ruling power and he who has the gold, makes the power. I was reading an article online and I stumble across with these words; can anyone tell me the meaning, please?

Basicamente lo que quiere decir es "Quien trae la plata (dinero) manda."
It´s not people in goverment who have power, but the ultra rich people who tell them what to do.
"Ruling power" is the "aristocracy" or "aristocracia."
The term "ruling class" refers to the social class of a given society that decides upon and sets that society's political policy by assuming there is one such particular class in the given society. Sometimes, there is a ruling class in a particular sector of the upper class that adheres to quite specific circumstances: it has both the most material wealth and the most widespread influence over all the other classes, and it chooses to actively exercise that power to shape the direction of a locality, a country, and/or the world.
