Resumen:
The purpose of the article is to clarify the various meanings and
contents of the hypethesis of embourgeoisement, critically explore the
limitations of the approach usually taken when presenting and discussing
the hypothesis, and to offer some alternative interpretations. The
hypothesis is not an isolated interpretation but part of wider
conceptions according to which capitalist industrial societies are
becoming either middle-class, service-class or middle-mass societies
rather than class societies. The discussion centers on the working
class.
