This book explains the formation and evolution of the capitalist society from the unique perspective of language and media. It argues that linguistic presentations given by using language serve as a basis for humans to define private property rights, engage in market exchange, establish the wage labor system, exploit science and technology in production and organize socialist production. It then clarifies the reason for the appearance of the distinction between the rich and the poor in a capitalist society, arguing against Marx's theory of surplus value, and asserts that the wage labor system is a cooperative system. It also discusses the relations of social classes and the relations between democracy and dictatorship, as well as the origin of the state. The second edition of this book enriches the contents of this book and further gives accuracy to the presentation of its viewpoints. This book will help its readership to deepen their understanding of capitalism.

Xing Yu studied English literature as a major at Sichuan Foreign Languages Institute, Chongqing, China from 1978 to 1982 and further studied international politics as a major at Fudan University, Shanghai, China from 1982 to 1985. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master of Law degree respectively. He then taught political science in Hangzhou University and Nanjing University in China in the 1980s and in the 1990s, as a political scientist. He is now a landed immigrant and an independent researcher in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. He is the author of the books A Political Philosophy of Language and State (2025) and Language and State: A Treatise on Political Linguistics and Philosophy (2024). These two books are written to create a theory about the role of language in the formation of the state or the civilized society and in the dissolution of the tribe or the primitive society, arguing that language has preset the whole process of the progress of the civilization of human society.
