Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The New Class: An Analysis of the Communist System (Serbian: Нова класа: Анализа комунистичког система) is a political theory book about the concept of the new class by communist Yugoslav figure and intellectual Milovan Đilas. He proposed that the party-state officials formed a class which "uses, enjoys and disposes of nationalised property". In the former Yugoslavia the book was not legally published until 1990, when Narodna knjiga from Belgrade finally released it. Before that, both the Serbian manuscript and the English edition circulated on the black market. The manuscript was completed before 1956, the year of Đilas’s arrest, after which he spent nine years in prison – including 22 months in solitary confinement. The book has been translated into 50 languages and sold over 3 million copies. It was read by Che Guevara and Mao Zedong.
