In King Philip II's Spain, the emerging bourgeoisie, or middle class, was largely absent in the traditional social hierarchy dominated by the nobility and the clergy. While the economy was reliant on agriculture and resources from the colonies, there was limited opportunity for a substantial middle class to develop. This lack of a strong bourgeoisie contributed to social stagnation and hindered economic innovation during his reign. The focus remained on maintaining the status quo rather than fostering new social dynamics.
