Ritzer's Rationalization Theory
Some Short Takes:
Ritzer is a very popular writer who has a strong foundation in sociological theory...His concept of McDonaldization has contributed little new to the scholarship of rationalization, but it has brought the concept of rationalization home to millions of students...While his Weberian influence is readily apparent, he has lately been integrating more Marx into his thought.
