| has gloss | (noun) the class occupying the highest position in the social hierarchy upper crust, upper class |
| has gloss | eng: In sociology an upper class is the group of people at the top of a social hierarchy. Members of an upper class may have great power over the allocation of resources and governmental policy in their area, but only to the extent that the power of the state can intervene in free exchange or distort investment. This expression of class refers to access to power through the state or marketplace. A market exchange is one expression of society (society being understood as spontaneous unfettered exchange between or among individuals of leisure, goods, ideas and the artifacts of culture). Under the market, the consumer has decided the apportionment of the success to any upper class, a status that is fluid and as vulnerable to failure as to success. Without special access to the political means of acquiring or allocating wealth ( the political means requires force or the threat of force), and useful only if the state has exceeded its proper role, the upper classes have no especial power except maybe as mere swindlers. |

| has gloss | nor: Overklasse er et sosiologisk begrep brukt om den øverste samfunnsklassen. Hva som regnes som overklasse vil variere sterkt i ulike sammenhenger og fra land til land, samt med øynene som ser. Familiebakgrunn, kulturell kapital og økonomisk velstand, ofte i den rekkefølgen, er vanlige utgangspunkter. Mange vil legge betydelig vekt på familiebakgrunn og dannelse (kulturell kapital), og vil mene at økonomisk velstand alene ikke gir tilhørighet til overklassen. |

Till denna klass räknas elitgrupper som kungahus och adel. Då dessa grupper förlorat mycket av sin makt och sitt inflytande är det numera vanligare att det syftar på andra eliter, exempelvis familjer med stora förmögenheter och stort ekonomiskt och politiskt inflytade.
