Profit-making class

Japanese: 営利階級 - えいりかいきゅう
Profit-making class


[Plural Class Theory]
M. Weber proposed a pluralistic class division based on composite indicators, instead of the unitary class division of the 19th century theories such as those of Saint-Simon and Marx. In his great work "Economy and Society" (1921-22), he listed class and status as divisions related to social inequality, and further divided class divisions into two: (1) divisions based on differences in wealth (property class), and (2) divisions based on market opportunities (profit class), and divided status divisions into three: (1) divisions based on lifestyle, (2) divisions based on education, and (3) divisions based on occupational prestige. In Weber's pluralistic class theory, "status" does not refer to feudal status, but represents inequality divisions based on social indicators, whereas class is an economic indicator.

*Some of the terminology explanations that refer to the "profit class" are listed below.
