Post-industrial society - Smart, Barry (Thousand Oaks, CA : SAGE Publications, 2011)
What are the key debates in sociology? What issues do they reflect about the discipline and its potential? This series examines the key debates in sociology, from the'Agency-Structure Debate' to the'Fact-Value Debate' and all points in between. The plan is to group together the various positions that are in favour, or againts, a particular thesis. By pitting positions and argument against one another, the intention is to produce a clearer understanding of the nature and importance of the debate in question.
