Bourgeoisie

The Bourgeoisie is Marx's version of the new modernism in the world wide politics and economy. To him, politics and economy are one in itself (that is where the term marxism came from in literary theory). While the world seems to be moving forward, Marx makes comment that in ways, the system is just a simpler form of Feudalism. Though I wouldn't have compared the two myself, I see where he is coming from.

I commented on Henry's post.
