The paper reviews Weber's ideas on the types of rationality arguing that formal rationality that emerged in modern society, disregards the needs of individuals in favour of continuous profit making. It is discussed whether the 'McDonaldisation' and fast-food culture can pose a threat to Western cultural values.
