IMO this division is pretty arbitrary and depends on the particular historical period. Why "economical relationship" is the touchstone? Why not religion? Say, what's wrong with the following two-component stratification?

  • religious class.
  • status class, based on other criteria, other than religion.

IMO it will work pretty well in ancient Egypt.

And party class is so naive a notion. Why not sports fan class? Mikkalai 09:21, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I have tagged this article for cleanup because it needs to be rewritten primarily using our own words, rather than relying so heavily on direct quotes. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 19:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
