Answer:

Bourgeoisie

Step-by-step explanation:

Karl Marx developed a theory called "Conflict theory", according to Marx's view , society has a limited number of resources, therefore this implies that people will always be competing for them.

According to this theory, the people owning the resources will protect and hoard them. At the same time, people who don't have them will try to get them. Therefore, the conflict.

More specifically, the people who own the resources and who own the means of production are known as the bourgeoisie and they have the means to produce wealth (the capital). On the other hand there are the workers, people who don't have resources and who will work for the bourgeoisie.

Therefore, according to Marx, the bourgeoisie consist(s) of those who own the means of production—the land and capital necessary for factories and mines.
