What's that anyway? You seem to have a clear idea.
at any given time, the US ruling class is that part of the class structure that owns financial claims to means of production based in the US. It rules the economy, but not necessarily the government. The governing elite (or power elite), on the other hand, runs the government. It's more that just capitalists, since it includes some relatively poor bureaucrats, but it also excludes some fractions of the capitalist class. -- Jim Devine / "In economics, the majority is always wrong." -- John Kenneth Galbraith
