    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)
