> If you sell your time for money you are working class.

This would put a trader earning $3m/yr as working class. That’s fine I guess, but then we need another distinction, for the difference between that person and a minimum wage worker.

Now in all the conversations where we would say “working class” we use this new term, because we almost always mean things relating to income level rather than labour vs owner.

And so all we’ve done is changed the name for “working class”



A trader is working class. They are just rich. As soon as they stop working as a trader their income will stop.

You can be rich working class. If you acquire enough capital where you no longer work and just deploy your capital you are no longer working class.
