| May 11, 2015 at 8:02 | comment | added | Greg | It seems like a self-referring question. You first state there is a new type of middle class appearing in the turn of the century, then you ask us to clean up the statement, and define economically, culturally, politically etc what this actually means. I think you should give a more precise description what you mean by the first statement, as well as clarifying what is your question. | |

| Oct 25, 2011 at 22:58 | comment | added | Cerberus | I think your question could benefit from more precise criteria for what you call "bourgeoisie" and "modern middle class". I can think of many different definitions for both. It isn't entirely clear to me what you want to know; it may be that you have certain premises that you need to explain and that others might disagree on. | |

| Oct 20, 2011 at 20:35 | comment | added | MichaelF | Never covered that in my classes, although Bourgeois in my classes was always wrapped in Marxism, this is a new distinction to me. You learn something new every day! I'm curious on this one. | |
| Oct 20, 2011 at 20:12 | comment | added | Sorcerer Blob | @MichaelF There is a distinct difference between the typical "bourgeois" middle class and the middle class that exists today. The bourgeois of the days of old, mercantile and artisan groups, were typically a step below the noblity, despite a lack of social mobility. | |
| Oct 20, 2011 at 17:05 | comment | added | MichaelF | I'm not sure I get the distinction since the merchantile and artistic groups of the "Middle Ages" tended to be the middle class for centuries and I don't think they all would have been considered the bourgeoisie. | |
