Final Jeopardy Explanation
According to Karl Marx’s 1847 Communist Manifesto, “the discovery of America, the rounding of the Cape, opened up fresh ground for the rising bourgeoisie”.
According to Marx, the bourgeoisie is a social class that came to own the means of production during modern industrialization and whose societal concerns are the value of property and the preservation of capital to ensure the perpetuation of their economic supremacy in society.
The bourgeoisie stood in the middle class between the underprivileged working class and the weak nobility. Thanks to the Industrial Revolution, the bourgeoisie had displaced the nobility as the class with the most riches.
