Social &Cultural Theory

Near the bottom of page 132, Ritzer says:

“Most important, rational systems are unreasonable systems

that deny the humanity, the human reason of the people who

work within them or are served by them. In other words,

rational systems are dehumanizing.”

First: How does the author support that statement in the reading?

Then: How does Weber’s theory of (ir)rationality compare with Marx’s critique of capitalism?
