Working on a thing about this I will tag you when I post it.

When there are reverse transplants from the core to the periphery (instead of petit boug in the periphery making enough money to come to the US) it's done in a way where people exploit currency exchange rates to live without working the rest of their lives. (So becoming more bourgeois is almost always a retirement goal for core workers)
