Marx's Theory of the Bourgeoisie
Burgers themselves had been town dwellers in the middle ages who had certain social and political privileges placing them above the rest of non-noble peoples. So Marx explains that as exploitation continued and Europe began to develop intensifying local trade connections, the need for more direct and productive forms of manufacturing increased. And this all eventually led to the opening up of a global world market. This development has in its turn reacted on the extension of industry in proportion as industry commerce, navigation, railways extended according to Marx. The same proportion the bourgeoisie developed increased its capital and pushed into the background every class handed down from the middle ages end quote.
