The correct answer is noble class.

Utopia, as written by Sir Thomas More and published in 1516. The boo depicts a fictional island society and its religious, social and political customs, with clear influences from life in monasteries.

In Utopia there is private property and everyone is only concerned with the public welfare, having no need to worry about food or impoverishment for themselves or their descendants. It becomes a clear dissonance from the life the noble class had at the time, where usually men who do nothing productive live in luxury (nobles) while in Utopia everyone work and all live well The character Hythloday goes as far as inferring that societies other than Utopia are merely conspiracies of the rich, "whose objective is to increase their own wealth while the government they control claims to be a commonwealth concerned with the common welfare."
