Just as I expected...

"The middle class refers to people neither at the top nor at the bottom of a social hierarchy."

Marxists make up lots of classes, like the petit-bourgeois and so on, what fun. Apparently you're Middle Class if you bring a bottle to a party (as a gift) so it looks like all the punx are safe.

the easiesy way to define it is have some kind of a wage structure. over 25 grand a year and yer middle class, over 85 grand and yer upper class. lottery winners are aristocrats. would save alot of sociological arguments.

Definition of class membership is classically defined in terms of your relationship to the means of production. So for the most part your income is unrelated, up to a point.

classically defined by who now

classically defined by who now

marx, though he did accept that in reality class systems are more complicated. he wrote about splits within class groups and about 'transitional classes', groups crossing over from another system such as farming peasants from the feudal system (he was writing in the 1800s). this theory has been elaborated hugely by various theorists. weber (another german sociological heavyweight who had a massive influence on how we think about class) recognised the existance of resources other than property and wealth that had an impact on class, like educational qualifications. people with such resources could influence the means of production but did not control or have direct influence over it like the capitalist upper class.

 

[Shorty]

Right, this is how it goes in terms of class analysis

Aldi> Lidl> Tescos> Dunnes Stores> Super Value> Superquinn> Marks and Spencers> Health Store> Temple Bar market> Donnybrook Fair

Yeah? Left anything out?
