What two groups according to Karl Marx was society divided into during the industrial revolution?

Answer 1

The bourgeoisie and the proletariat

The well-to-do and the poor.

The two classes, bourgeoisie and proletariat, do not correspond to the well to do and the poor as social classes, according to Karl Marx. The bourgeoisie are the owners and controllers of the means of production of materials. These are the owners of factories, mines, railroads, etc. Such people are well to do, but Marx's definition was geared to those who controlled the industrial might of the capitalist society, not just rich people.

Marx's "bourgeoisie" did not include others who might be rich, such as doctors, lawyers, architects, etc. He called these people the "petty bourgeoisie."

The proletariat were the common workers, but they did not include individuals like small store owners. The he also cast into the petty bourgeoisie class.

The Industrial Revolution introduced the factory to the economy. From that sprung Marx's two classes. The people who owned the and controlled the factories, the bourgeoisie, and the people who worked in then, the proletariat. It was not as simple as rich and poor.
