Inhaltsangabe

The First Edition of The McDonaldization of Society has been an international bestseller and acclaimed worldwide, largely because of its effectiveness in conveying the `sociological imagination′. The power of sociology is in its abstract concepts, but this also makes it extremely hard to teach. George Ritzer takes students to a world they know and it encourages them to see it in an alternative perspective. The Revised Edition is more streamlined and reflects the fact that `McDonaldization′ has been an increasingly global phenomenon over the last three years.
