Summary/Abstract: In the paper marxist model of class analysis is substituted by dynamic type of social stratification model. Both models are derived from higher-order systems model (metamodel) adapted to analysis of social structure of socialist societies and to changes within them. From metasystem model of four dimensions of social stratification is derived; ie. stratification by dimensions of power, occupation, personal income and general social status, connected with status symbols. The latter can be relative autonomous. Yugoslav society in postwar period is then described by four dimensions mentioned and the mechanisms generating them analysed.
