Class Rethink
When we think of class we tend to categorise it into the following groups:
Working Class
Middle Class
Upper Class
Or possibly:
Working Class
Lower Middle Class
Upper Middle Class
Upper Class
Marx would define these groups by people’s relationship to the means of production and labour power, for example:
Working Class (proletariat) – Worker
Middle Class (petit-bourgeoisie) – Small business owner, cannot employ anyone
Upper Class (bourgeoisie) – Business owners who employ others
