Book Synopsis Risk Society by : Ulrich Beck

Download or read book Risk Society written by Ulrich Beck and published by SAGE Publications Limited. This book was released on 1992-09-16 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This panoramic analysis of the condition of Western societies has been hailed as a classic. This first English edition has taken its place as a core text of contemporary sociology alongside earlier typifications of society as postindustrial and current debates about the social dimensions of the postmodern. Underpinning the analysis is the notion of the `risk society'. The changing nature of society's relation to production and distribution is related to the environmental impact as a totalizing, globalizing economy based on scientific and technical knowledge becomes more central to social organization and social conflict.
