Yet there was much discontent in Europe. People were getting fed up with a two-class social structure, in which a tiny group of rich people remained in power over a vast number of poor people at the bottom of the social scale, people with virtually no rights and no way to climb out of their poverty.
La gente estaba harta de las sociedades con estructuras de clases en las que un diminuto grupo de ricos estaba en el poder y dominaba a un gran número de pobres en la escala social inferior, que apenas tenían derechos ni podían salir de su pobreza.
