Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The petit bourgeoisie, also known as the "petty bourgeoisie," refers to the middle class that owns small businesses and has some level of autonomy and control over their means of production. This social class is distinct from the bourgeoisie (capitalists) who own and control large-scale industries and the proletariat (working class) who sell their labor to these owners. Marx viewed the petit bourgeoisie as a transitional class that could potentially align with either the capitalists or the working class depending on their economic and political interests.
