In the second edition of this classic study, Krishan Kumar introduces and assesses the rival claims of three theories crucial to an understanding of contemporary social theory: the information society, post–Fordism, and post–modernism. Explaining how these theories developed and why they have held such an appeal, the author provides the most readable and evenly–balanced account of three very different, but overlapping paradigms. In a new and substantial introduction, Kumar places the three key approaches within the context of contemporary discourse on globalization.From Post Industrial to Post–Modern Society is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand contemporary theories of social, cultural, and economic change.

This superb book, which has been essential reading since its original publication, now includes a major new introductory chapter, covering theories of globalization and multiple modernity s. Kumar manages to to be judicious and provocative, comprehensive and clear, and magisterial and readable. The book is an indispensable guide to these highly contested yet inescapable attempts to theorize modern societies.William Outhwaite, University of Sussex

From Post–Industrial to Post Modern Society has established itself as an incomparable classic of modern sociology. The second edition extends the range of the original text to address new problems of globalism, and thereby integrates the globalization debate into concerns about post–modernity. A singular achievement. Bryan Turner, Cambrige University.
