First sentence: Baudrillard's first two published works, Le systeme des objets (hereafter SO) and La societe de consommation (hereafter SC) explore the system of objects structured into a 'consumer society'; whereas his third book, Pour une critique de l'economie politique du signe (hereafter CPES), attempts to reconstruct political economy and Marxism on the basis of semiological theories of the sign.
