More About This Textbook
Overview
The Third Edition of Mc Donaldization: The Reader includes a wide array of sources, from journal articles, to essays from edited books, to newspaper and magazine articles. George Ritzer, best-selling author of Mc Donaldization of Society, has updated this popular anthology to build upon and go beyond the thesis of Mc Donaldization. Classic articles from the First and Second Editions remain in this volume and are supplemented by a significant number of new pieces which bring the discussion about Mc Donaldization up to date.
Editorial Reviews
Shu-Ju Ada Cheng
"This is a well-organized reader. This is an excellent reader for teachers who teach undergraduate courses on globalization, work, and social institution. It is also a must-read for lower and upper division undergraduate students who are concerned with the nature of modern and postmodern worlds."Product Details
