Don't they still work their own land? Unless they're hiring other people to work the land for them, I don't think they could be considered bourgeois, petty or otherwise.

Petty bourgeois

i thought the definition of petty bourgeois are land/capital owners who do have to labour somewhat like shopkeepers or independent farmers in this case

The cool thing is that it's not very well defined! I feel like these are interesting distinctions that each need a term:

  • large business owners/shareholders/executives with close political connections/influence
  • small/medium business owners/investors with extravagant wealth, some state or regional political connections.
  • small business owners
  • working small business owners with a handful of employees
  • working small business owners with no employees
  • professionals
  • independent professionals
  • independent professionals with employees
  • managers

I've heard "petit-bourgeois" used to refer to more than one of these (some of them I just threw in there myself)

  • small business owners <<petit-bourgeois
  • working small business owners with a handful of employees <<semi-permeable membrane
  • working small business owners with no employees <<owner-operators and artisans
  • professionals
  • independent professionals
  • independent professionals with employees <<weird
  • managers
