Contradiction?
Managerial Class != Bourgeoisie
This was a loose usage of the term “bourgeoisie”, meant in the sociological rather than economic sense. Sorry.
In late capitalism, the PMC (Professional Managerial Class) occupies a weird liminal space:
Economically they're proletariat
Socially/culturally they're aligned with bourgeois values
Politically they often acts in defense of capital (because of career dependency)
Hence: managerial class != bourgeoisie, even if they act like them or aspire to be them.
