An international, multidisciplinary group of scholars examines the thesis of George Ritzer's popular book The McDonaldization of Society. The essays analyze the premise of McDonaldization, provide richer theoretical discussions of the relationship between Ritzer's analysis and semiotics, critical theory, feminism, and postmodernism, and extend the thesis to other areas of consumer culture.

Aimed at both undergraduate and graduate students, the work is designed to stand alone and need not be accompanied by Ritzer's original text. The essays fill in necessary theoretical issues as well as extend theoretical concepts. A major teaching tool in communication, sociology, and philosophy as well as in more applied areas such as hospitality management.

Phenomenal book--I had to read it for a COMMS course for grad school, but I'll be re-reading it when the class is done.

I bought this book for a course in Communications. The research gives different points of views to Ritzer's book. At times it is too technical, but often interesting to any layperson.

Extremely useful for an essay I wrote. I've always thought Ritzer's McDonalidization received too much praise and not enough criticism, and this is the best source for that. Good authors, well written.
