The concept of ‘rationalization’ came from ____
A
Karl Marx
B
Max Weber
C
Emile Durkheim
D
Herbert Spencer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In sociology, the term rationalization was coined by Max Weber, a German sociologist, jurist, and economist. Rationalization (or rationalisation) is the replacement of traditions, values, and emotions as motivators for behaviour in society with concepts based on rationality and reason.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rationality in Weber’s work refers to a unique type of social action, a particular relationship between ideas and action, rather than to a general process in the development of ideas.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to Weber, the rationalization of society led to the disenchantment of society and as a result religious motives for action were replaced by rational motives for action.

Detailed explanation-4: -Marx at least foresaw an emancipating revolution, whereas for Weber the only antidote to rationalization was the emergence of the charismatic figure. Socialism, Weber claimed, would create an even more confining cage, since it would combine formal rationality with substantive rationality.

Detailed explanation-5: -Four types of rationality are identified and com-pared with one another: practical, theoretical, substantive, and for-mal. Only “ethical substantive rationality” introduces methodical ways of life.
