George Ritzer is well known in the field of sociology, and has written a book that is a pleasure to read, informative as he deals with Classical & Contemporary theories of every day life, Post Modern Grand theories and finishing off with Globalisation, which in this modern world in which we live is a very important part to our existence. Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx and Max Weber star in the main theories of classical work, and a great intro to the Neo- Marxian theory. After reading this is it hard to believe we are not all pro Marx. Not an easy to dip into bedtime read, but never less an eye opener to society as a whole, and the actions of the individual whether introvert or extrovert.
