This fascinating anthology collects together a wide range of writings on the application of McDonaldization to areas of the social world, including: the church, state, theme parks, mountain climbing, the sex industry, the family, the police, the university, and the Internet. The Reader also demonstrates the ways in which McDonaldization is affecting cultures around the world, the ways in which it does or does not adapt to other cultures, and various social movements that have emerged around the world in opposition to McDonaldization. The collection benefits from a new essay by George Ritzer on the future of McDonaldization.
The McDonaldization of Society
Recipient of a 2021 McGuffey Longevity Award from the Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA) The book that made "McDonaldization" part of the lexicon of contemporary sociological theory, read by hundreds of thousands of students, is now in its Tenth Edition. George Ritzer′s seminal work of critical sociology, The McDonaldization of Society, continues to stand as one of the pillars of modern sociological thought. Building on the argument that the fast food restaurant has become the model for the rationalization process today, this book links theory to contemporary life in a globalized world. Ritzer opens our eyes to many current issues and shows how McDonaldization’s principles—efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control—have been applied to other sectors of American society and throughout the world. This new edition continues to shift its focus to how we experience McDonaldization online, the new locus of production and consumption in the digital age.
