The widening gap between ’bourgeoisie ’ and ’proletariat ’ As the title would suggest in this essay I intend to discuss the widening gap between the Bourgeoisie and Proletariat in today’s world. In a contemporary context I would take this to mean the widening gap between rich and poor and the economic inequality that continues to plague our world. In order to look at the situation in our present day we must first get an idea of what this divide means. In Marx’s day the term Bourgeoisie described
