The new class structure resembles that of Medieval times. At the apex of the new order are two classes—a reborn clerical elite, which dominates the upper part of the professional ranks, universities, media and culture, and a new aristocracy led by tech oligarchs with unprecedented wealth and growing control of information. Below these two classes lies what was once called the Third Estate. This includes the yeomanry, which is made up largely of small businesspeople, minor property owners, skilled workers and private-sector oriented professionals. Ascendant for much of modern history, this class is in decline while those below them, the new Serfs, grow in numbers—a vast, expanding property-less population." –Encounterbooks.com Výrazy tezauru střední třída * společenská struktura Klasifikační znaky 2821 - Sociální rámec ISBN 978-1-64177-094-1 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie Call number Location Info F 89432 EXH - externí sklad Holešovice
