Question

According to Marx, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat are: a) the product of gender differentiation in Europe's tribal past. b) the owners of the means of production in core and periphery nations, respectively. c) distinct and opposed classes in the capitalist economy. d) exogamous social groups. e) moiety groups that dominated Western capitalism.

Answer 1

Answer:

Distinct and opposed classes in the capitalist economy

Explanation:

The bourgeoisie represents the owners of the land and the factories, while the proletariat is formed by the workers employed by the bourgeoisie.

According to Karl Marx both classes have different interests, while the bourgeoisie wants to have higher profits with as lower salaries as possible, the proletariat has to struggle for their rights to revert this.

It is important to mention that Marx lived during the 19th century, a time when worker´s rights were very far from what they are today.
