The middle class were definitly on the winning side. Many of them became buisness owners and made (sometimes lot's of) money. Their social influence rose and they built themselfs homes that rivaled that of any noble family.
Working class people were generally on the loosing side. There was a lot of mass poverty, homelessness, starvation and generally bad living conditions. (think of 20 people living in your bedroom with no running water)
