«Marx described in 1848 in The Communist Manifesto: "Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other: Bourgeoisie and Proletariat." Thus, the differences in the social classes in capitalism, in both their needs from the system and what they get from it, lead to the Marxian view that the interests of Wall Street rarely coincide with the interests of Main Street.»
