THE BOURGEOISIE IN in MODERN SOCIETIES
The Bourgeoisie or Capitalist Class (Upper Class) o It is the property-owned class, those who live from earning made from the ownership, control, and exploitation of property such as land, capital, large business, or share holdings.
Corporative capitalism o The individual capitalist property were superseded by stockholding companies. o The individual capitalists were forced out by shareholders. o Dispersion of capitalist property among the mass of shareholders.
REVOLUTION OF MANAGERS Key elements of the concept: o Separation of ownership and control; o Managers are a new dominant class. o Rejection of the ‘bourgeoisie’ (capitalists) as an outdated and redundant term.
Critics of the concept o Empirical studies demonstrate that the powers of individual owners have not declined much, and certainly not as radically as has been claimed. o The more widespread share ownership only means that very considerable powers of boards of directors are exercised, while owning only a single-figure percentage of the shares. o The concept of a bourgeoisie or capitalist class is still important.
