The petite bourgeoisie, also known as the petty bourgeoisie, is a French term that originally referred to the middle class that fell between the proletariat, or working class, and the haute bourgeoisie, or wealthy ruling class. This group usually comprises small business owners, managers, and professionals who possess some means of production but do not have significant economic influence or power. They often seek to emulate the lifestyle and values of the upper class while sharing some economic interests with the working class. Today, the term also applies to a socio-economic class that sits between the working class and the wealthier capitalist class in various societies.
