Are property developers bourgeois?

[spartan]

So yeah are property developers (Real estate developers to all you yanks) bourgeois, petite-bourgeois or proletarians?

[Joe Hill's Ghost]

Yeah I would think so. They use workers to improve said property...right?

[Niccolò Rossi]

They are indeed Bourgeois. They purchase the labour-power of workers so as to generate surplus-value.

i would agree that they are indeed bourgeois, they are vey much capatilists looking to make big bucks.

They are indeed Bourgeois. They purchase the labour-power of workers so as to generate surplus-value.

That depends, though (bourgeois or petit-bourgeois), on the scale of the business. TomK in OI is most likely PETIT-bourgeois (in spite of his false pride), but a deceased bourgeois in-law of mine was really into property development.

Now, if TomK were, say, one of the leading owners of a property development corporation (I don't think he is, given his statements on limited liability), THEN I'd be willing to reconsider my assumption as to his class background. :)
