      It’s all French anyway. I prefer to avoid using the academic terms when possible in first place, but there really isn’t a replacement I can use in English

        Bourgeois = owning class

        Proletariat = working class

        If you get income from owning (stocks [dividends, capital gains], landlords [rent]) = owning class

        If you get income from working (hourly wage, salary) = working class

        I think that should work. What do you think?
