George Ritzer (born October 14, 1940) is an American sociologist, professor, and author known for his work on globalization, totalitarian theory, patterns of consumption, and modern/postmodern social theory. His concept of 'McDonaldization' is based on Max Weber's idea of rationality, focusing on the fast-food industry.
