Define petit bourgeoisie and proletariat.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Petit bourgeoisie is defined as small-business owners and workers who still have their own means of production but might end up in the proletariat because they're driven out by competition or their businesses fail. Proletariat is defined as the masses of workers who depend on wages to survive, have few resources, and make up the working class.
