Beyond McDonaldization provides new concepts of higher education for the twenty-first century in a unique manner, challenging much that is written in mainstream texts. This book undertakes a reassessment of the growth of McDonaldization in higher education by exploring how the application of Ritzer’s four features efficiency, predictability, calculability and control has become commonplace. This wide-ranging text discusses arguments surrounding the industrialisation of higher education, with case studies and contributions from a wide range of international authors. Written in an accessible style, Beyond McDonaldization examines questions such as: Can we regain academic freedom whilst challenging the McDonaldization of thought and ideas? Is a McDonaldization of every aspect of academic life inevitable? Will the new focus on student experience damage young people? Why is a McDonaldized education living on borrowed time? Is it possible to recreate the university of the past or must we start anew? Does this industrialisation meet the educational needs of developing economies? This book brings international discussions on the changing world of higher education and the theory of McDonaldization together, seeking to provide a positive future vision of higher education. Analysing and situating the discussion of higher education within a wider social, political and cultural context, this ground-breaking text will have a popular appeal with students, academics and educationalists.

The author is a proud sponsor of the 2020 SAGE Keith Roberts Teaching Innovations Award—enabling graduate students and early career faculty to attend the annual ASA pre-conference teaching and learning workshop. The book that made "McDonaldization" part of the lexicon of contemporary sociological theory, read by hundreds of thousands of students, is now in its Ninth Edition! George Ritzer′s seminal work of critical sociology, The McDonaldization of Society, continues to stand as one of the pillars of modern day sociological thought. Building on the argument that the fast food restaurant has become the model for the rationalization process today, this book links theory to contemporary life in a globalized world and resonates with students in a way that few other books do. Ritzer opens students’ eyes to many current issues and shows how McDonaldization’s principles apply to other settings, especially in the areas of consumption and globalization. This new edition has been significantly reoriented to reflect our experience of McDonaldization in the world of online consumption. New to this Edition Examines how retailers like Amazon represent a new era of "datafication," the transformation of vast amounts of information into quantifiable data. Discusses how the digital world has almost unlimited potential to turn consumers into "prosumers" doing volunteer work formerly done by paid employees. This edition is more streamlined than previous editions to sharpen its argument and message, and make it more useable as a secondary reading in a wide range of courses

In The McDonaldization of the Church, John Drane critiqued church trends toward "fast food" spirituality while offering suggestions for change. In his long-awaited sequel, After McDonaldization, Drane addresses key questions for Western Christianity in a global context. He argues that increasing numbers of people are turning to "spirituality" even while church attendance has continued to decline in the US and Europe, and that the continuing impact of globalization and consumerism has been joined by a post-9/11 culture of fear and a search for truth. In light of these developments, Drane presents a case for a more practical theology, a reinvigorated style of ministry, and a restatement of classic Christian beliefs for the twenty-first century. This accessible book will appeal to church and culture readers, pastors, and those interested in the emerging church.

In this major new book, the author of the bestselling McDonaldization of Society provides an exploration of one of the most innovative and imaginative sociological theses of the last decade of the twentieth century - `McDonaldization'. Part One centres on a discussion of Karl Mannheim's theory of rationalization. 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

McDonald’s started in 1940 in the USA. At that time much of the planet was being terrorized by Stalinization and Hitlerization. German socialism and Soviet socialism had partnered in a pact to divide up Europe, launching World War II, invading Poland together and going onward, leading to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part). It was a globalization conspiracy to make everyone in the world as equal as a cog in a collectivist wheel. After the Allies defeated German socialism, Soviet socialism continued the sordid plot on its own. Stalin’s anti-consumption dogma had already starved millions to death under his collectivization of food. His get-poor-quick scheme continued to impoverish multitudes for decades. In contrast, in the USA, McDonald’s began posting the number of hamburgers sold in 1955. The signs over the golden arches said, “over a million served.” Soviet socialists colluded with Chinese socialists (despite Stalin’s earlier experience cooperating with German socialists). The Chinese mimicked Stalin’s one-size-fits-all food bureaucracy. Soon, Mao’s death toll by starvation rivaled Stalin’s. Their bogus “right to free socialized medicine” could not cure stage-4 hunger (not even pain pills nor palliative care was provided). Soviet socialism and Chinese socialism both independently caused cannibalism (think of it as “slow food”; not “fast food”). While McD’s asked “Do you want fries with that?” socialists asked, “Do you want flies with that?” (Due to the lack of reliable electricity and refrigeration). Similar unhappy meals followed the same irrational socialization chaos in other countries. Socialism is a high-mortality dogma. In 1991 the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ceased to exist because its socialization economy collapsed. In 1993 “The McDonaldization of Society” (by George Ritzer) was published. In the book, Ritzer writes as if he is ignorant that members of Hitler’s group did not call themselves “Nazis,” but called themselves “socialists” and touted “socialism” by the very word in voluminous writings and speeches. In that regard, Ritzer perpetuates widespread ignorance among college students. Ritzer seems ignorant of the death tolls under Stalin and Mao, who also glorified “socialism” voluminously by the very word. It says more about Ritzer than it does about McDonald’s. In 1994 McDonald's stopped counting hamburgers served because the quantity surpassed 99 billion. Today McDonald’s is so loved that it can boast that “billions and billions have been served.” During that same time, socialists can boast that millions and millions have been starved. To death. The USA has avoided many monotonous horrors of collectivization and socialism’s trademark mass starvations. McDonaldization (and other all capitalism) saved us from McStalinization, McHitlerization, McMaoism, and defeated other McSocialization in America. Even so, “The McDonaldization of Society” is used as a textbook in American college classes that bad-mouth capitalism and glorify socialism. Young people are being brainwashed in schools and universities. In how many other ways is the USA being victimized by anti-capitalist propaganda? The USA was the origin of Nazi salutes and Fascist behavior through the propaganda of an American Socialist: Francis Bellamy, author of the USA's Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. America’s Nazi salute was often performed by public officials in the USA from 1892 through 1942 (near McDonald’s start). What happened to old photographs and films of the American Nazi salute performed by federal, state, county, and local officials? Those photos and films are rare because people don't want to know the truth about the government’s past. American youth groups (Scouting) adopted Bellamy's American Nazi salute (with Bellamy’s encouragement) AND saluted swastika badges (卐) worn by fellow scouts. Many Americans were accustomed to “Nazi salutes for swastikas” long before German socialism (and Hitler Youth) adopted similar behavior under Hitler. That helps to explain another shocking revelation: swastikas were promoted in the US military and worn as a patch on the upper left arm of American soldiers in a fashion that would become uniform under German socialism. There are photos in this book!

George Ritzer’s McDonaldization of Society, now celebrating its’ 20thanniversary, continues to stand as one of the pillars of modern day sociological thought. By linking theory to 21st century culture, this book resonates with students in a way that few other books do, opening their eyes to many current issues, especially in consumption and globalization. As in previous editions, the book has been updated and it offers new discussions of, among others, In-N-Out- Burger and Pret A Manger as possible antitheses of McDonaldization. The biggest change, however, is that the book has been radically streamlined to offer an even clearer articulation of the now-famous McDonaldization thesis.

As one of the most noteworthy and popular sociology books of all time, The McDonaldization of Society 6 demonstrates the power of the sociological imagination to 21st century undergraduates in a way that few other books have. This engaging work of social criticism is praised for sparking debate in and out of the classroom and for allowing students to read in depth on a small number of fascinating topics, and it vividly demonstrates the relevance of Weber's discussion of rationalization (the basis of McDonaldization) to the everyday life of today's student. New and Retained Features: e Links a large number of social phenomena to McDonaldization, some which are directly impacted by the principles of the fast-food chain and others where the effect is more tenuous e A new final chapter (10) on 'The DeMcDonaldization of Society?' examines the processes of deMcDonaldization and concludes that while it is occurring on the surface, McDonaldization is alive and well for example, in the structures that underlie Web 2.0+ Many new and updated examples are from the digital world, keeping the text ultimately relevant for the contemporary student reader e Addresses the advantages of McDonaldization, then focuses on the problems and dangers it poses and looks at efforts to deal with those challenges e Examines the link between McDonaldization and globalization e Challenges the reader to rethink McDonaldization as part of the structure of society and to act to reverse the trend towards it
