Class Fraction

Definition of Class Fraction

The Canada social science dictionary [1] provides the following meaning of Class Fraction: Usually used by political economy theorists in discussion of the corporate class to acknowledge significant segmentation of this class. It is commonly linked to such distinctions as that between finance-based capital and industrial-based capital, each viewed as having different interests and perspectives. This is a useful concept in avoiding the simplistic view that the ‘corporate class’ is a necessarily unified group.
