Bourgeoisie and Proletariat
Bourgeoisie
In John Steinbeck's
The Pearl
'As industry, commerce, navigation, railways extended, in the same proportion the bourgeoisie developed, increased its capital, and pushed into the background every class handed down from the Middle Ages'
-Marx and Engels
Proletariat
'As the bourgeoisie [has] developed, in the same proportion the proletariat, the modern working class, [has] developed - a class of labourers, who live only so long as they find work, and who only find work only so long as their labour increases capital.'
-Marx and Engels
