Preferred term

ruling class  

Definition(s)

  • This Marxist term now sounds archaic but it has the virtue of clarity: it denotes the class that exercises political domination. This may be done openly and directly, as in the example of the lords of a feudal society. [Source: The SAGE Dictionary of Sociology; Ruling Class]
