Preferred term

bourgeoisie  

Definition

  • This French term is used by Marxists to denote the capitalist class: those who monopolise the ownership of the capital. Note that in this sense capital is not confined to ready money but means more generally the resources required for production. [Source: The SAGE Dictionary of Sociology; Bourgeoisie]
