The revolution had also caused two new social classes to emerge, the "capitalist" and the "proletariat". The capitalists (origin: capital) controlled most of the economic activities, with most of the money in their hand, and had a say in the government.

There was also middle classes which are less wealthy than capitalist but still lived in good condition. They are mainly doctors, scientists.
