From the Paper:

"The ideas of Karl Marx and Max Weber are familiar to us, in terms of how social classes differ, or how their members are identified. However, models must be examined for their time, and in awareness of exceptions. For instance, Marx saw an individual's class as determined, quite narrowly, by the relationship to the means of production in economies, he expected them to be directed by some sort of ruling class that controlled capital. Indeed, Marx almost divided the whole of 19th century Europe into categories of `rulers' and workers."
