520 2 $a"At the start of the twentieth century, when Germany, among other nations, was undergoing industrialization, Max Weber famously characterized modern life in words that have often been translated as "iron cage." During the industrial era, that image caught on and was often used by scholars to express concerns about the extent to which the actual character of modern life contradicted its emancipatory promise. But we are living in a different time now, when the conditions under which we live seem to be quitedifferent from the ones that pertained in Weber's day. It is a time when, in some respects at least, life seems to be freer and more conducive to experimentation, which has led some people to conclude that our societies have escaped from Weber's "cage." But is that really true? This book challenges that notion, considering the consequences for our way of life of the triumph of neoliberalism as a political force. Offering discussions of the obsessive materialism of our current way of life, the fascination with new technology, the instrumentalization of human beings, and the widespread fatalism, the author clarifies the meaning of Webers thinking on the probable fate of modern societies and explores its relevance to current conditions. As such, The Iron Cage Revisited will appeal to scholars of sociology, politics, and social theory."--Provided by publisher.
