Title: Re: What is social class? How did Weber and Marx agree and disagree on the variables Post by: ThePsychic on Nov 8, 2012 Social class refers to large numbers of people who share specific characteristics and social location. According to Weber, social class is a large group of people who rank close to one another in wealth, prestige, and power. Marx divided social class based on one's access to the means of production. Those who owned it were the capitalists or bourgeoisie, and those who sold their labor to the capitalists were the workers or proletariat.
