Notes on Meaning
- The term "hữu sản" is primarily used in political, economic, and sociological discourses. It is not a common word in everyday casual conversation.
- It inherently implies a social or economic classification based on the ownership of property, especially capital or the means of production. Its most frequent use is in the phrase "tầng lớp hữu sản" (the propertied class).
- The direct and most common translation is "propertied". In contexts discussing Marxist theory, it is equivalent to "bourgeois" (when referring to the capitalist class who own the means of production), though "tư sản" is a more precise translation for "bourgeois".
