Jean Baudrillard was a famous French philosopher, sociologist.He was also considered a person,Who toke a clear-cut stand, most obscure works, creativity being the most abundant post-modern theorist,"the era of the most important and most provocative writers". Baudrillard was knowledgeable. his worksrelated to philosophy, aesthetics, analysis, architecture, sociology, anthropology, semiotics and other fields.Baudrillard had a very profound thinking on Contemporary Western capitalist society. In this kind ofthinking, Baudrillard achieved fruitful theoretical results. He published50books. The book covers almostall the hot issues in modern society. Because of this, he was known as the master of academic thought inmodern society, the knowledge of "terrorists". From the beginning of fifty or sixty’s of the twentiethCentury, the western capitalist countries, was being the transition from industrial society to post-industrialsociety, this change not only change the nature of labor and production, more deeply influence people’sdaily consumption. Baudrillard is keen to capture this change. He break out from the mainstream view ofWestern Marx’s. Starting from the analysis of goods and consumption, he put the semiotics into his studyfield, and create an independent school thoughts of symbol consumption, which will lead to the capitalist"consumer society" study and criticism to a new realm.his paper basising on Baudrillard’s early works, with the writing purpose of revealing themisreading of symbol political economy theory to Marx political economics theory and through thecomparison of relationship between two systems, study the transition and "conversion",from Baudrillardsymbol political economy to Marx’s political economics this transition and "conversion" Show manyproblems worth further thinking: the conversion of the objective, the conversion conditions, the completingof the conversion method, as well as the theoretical essence and realistic significance of this conversion.The paper must focus on these issues or ideas to set its own architecture and structure.From the research on the information, symbol of political economy theory of Baudrillard andMarx’s political economics have many faces of connections, but they also has the essential difference: onthe one hand, Baudrillard is under consideration in Marx’s political economics problem domain.

Thethought of Frankfurt School on enlightenment, research on science and technology, ideology, mass cultureprovides a solid theoretical basis for Baudrillard’s transformation. Baudrillard followed Marx’s mode ofalienation thinking, in Lefebvre’s theory of popular culture, under the comprehensive influence of Lacanianpsychoanalysis and Roland Barthes mythologies semiotics, psychoanalysis, mode of alienation thinking areintertwined in the unique research methods. The transition from Marx’s political economics to the politicaleconomy of symbols, there is theoretical contribution, the contribution is embodied in will provide a newperspective of Marx economics politics, namely the semiotics angle; the research in the field of culturefurther deepening of Marx’s political economics. There is also insufficient, excessive emphasis on thesignificance of dimensions of object, so that the natural dimension of material to be covered, the radicalnotion will inevitably lead to the loss of its theoretical reality...
