Overclass
Overclass is a recent and pejorative〔(The next American nation: the new nationalism and the fourth American revolution - Michael Lind - Google Books )〕〔(Fighting Poverty, Inequality and Injustice: A Manifesto Inspired by Peter ... - Google Books )〕 term for the most powerful group in a social hierarchy. Users of the term generally imply excessive and unjust privilege and exploitation of the rest of society.〔(Chronicles - Rockford Institute - Google Books )〕〔(This Land Is Their Land: Reports from a Divided Nation - Barbara Ehrenreich - Google Books )〕〔(Delight of the Overclass! Demise of the Middleclass! - Jay T. Baldwin - Google Books )〕
Perhaps the most commonly agreed-upon "overclass" consists of leaders in international business, finance and the war industry.
The influence of the actions by the overclass have been rigorously studied, particularly with regards to notions of intersections between the overclass and specific races. Most notable of these racial overclasses is the NEWBO, or NEW Black Overclass in America.
The word is fairly recent: the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' included it only in December 2004.〔(Quarterly updates to OED Online )〕 But it has been in use since at least 1995. At least some writers compare it to the more familiar ''underclass'':
