"Reflexive Modernization is stimulating and imaginative.. all the authors raise important issues. Giddens provides a much-needed sociological discussion of the nature of tradition, which should provoke debate. Lash's contribution is in some ways the most helpful, given his direct engagement with his co-authors and his relation of theory to a variety of evidence."

"This is an attractive an original collection with much to commend ... the Giddens essay ... is elegant, smoothly written and carries lightly a vast amount of insight ... this is Giddens at his most mature and very best and explains his dominance in contemporary socialogical theory."
