Abdel Moneim El Shaqiri's profound study delves into Max Weber's foundational concept of rationalization, a cornerstone of sociological thought. This book meticulously examines how Weber theorized the increasing dominance of logic, efficiency, and calculability in modern life, extending beyond economic systems to encompass administration, law, and culture. El Shaqiri explores the multifaceted dimensions of rationalization, from its role in the rise of bureaucracy and capitalism to its implications for individual freedom and the 'iron cage' of modernity. The work offers a critical analysis of Weber's perspectives, highlighting their enduring relevance in understanding contemporary societal transformations and the pervasive influence of rational principles on human experience.
