Is there a philosophical view that explains the control of knowledge such that, those that know, use what they know to control those that do not know?

Such as we see with capitalism slavery, patent and intellectual right laws and used by theocracies, other forms of governments and businesses using capitalism slave labor.

Does it have to be knowledge? I think controlling information is enough, factual or not.

Information is synonymous with knowledge. Knowledge or information can be deceptive for controlling what some people think.
