Petit-bourgeois or petty bourgeois * a term that originally referred to the members of the lower middle social classes in the 18th and early 19th centuries. * Starting from the mid-19th century, the term was used by Karl Marx and Marxist theorists to refer to a social class that included shop-keepers and government employees.
