heal.abstract	Through a critical rereading of Marxist class theory, a reexamination of the border line between the working and middle classes is undertaken, focusing on the class identity of middle classes with respect to the question of class place and class position. In this context we summarize the arguments in Nicos Poulantzas's approach to the subject (mainly his theory of ""pertinent effects"", according to which all basic subcategories of the middle classes are affiliated with the self-same petty bourgeoisie), submitting these arguments to criticism and supporting a more accurate view of middle-class subcollectivities, not as parts of the same class but as different classes: the middle bourgeoisie, the traditional petty bourgeoisie, and the new petty bourgeoisie. © 2011 Association for Economic and Social Analysis.	en
