If the old capitalism ideally involved an entrepreneur who invested money into the production that he organized and ran, and then reaped the profit from it, a new ideal type is emerging today: the expert manager who runs a company owned by banks or dispersed investors. In this new ideal type of capitalism, the old bourgeoisie, rendered non-functional, is refunctionalized as salaried management: the members of the new bourgeoisie get wages, and even if they own part of their company, earn stocks as part their remuneration (‘bonuses’ for their ‘success’).
