The author also assesses the degree to which sociology in general and sociological theory in particular have been `McDonaldized′. The second part demonstrates the empirical reach of the `McDonaldization′ process with discussions on work, credit and globalization. Part Three moves beyond `McDonaldization′ to the worlds of `new means of consumption′ and the postmodern perspectives that best illuminate them. The author concludes with a re-evaluation of the McDonaldization thesis and its future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246650413400,"sku":"9780761955399","price":262.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/mcdonaldization-thesis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
