George Ritzer citáty

George Ritzer je americký sociolog a univerzitní profesor. I když se většinu svého života zabývá sociologií, sociologii nikdy nevystudoval. Jeho vědecký zájem se soustřeďuje na globalizaci, metateorii, konzumní vzorce a moderní a postmoderní sociální teorii. Jeho doposud nejvýznamnějším přínosem v oblasti sociologie je koncept tzv. mcdonaldizace. V současné době působí Ritzer na University of Maryland, kde získal titul Distinguished Professor.
