这是一种对社会变革的新颖阐述，它取代了对“社会”的传统理解，并呈现了一种以时间流动和空间跨越为主要分析单位的社会学。拉什和厄里对英国和美国、新德国和日本进行了比较分析，展示了有组织的资本主义之后的结构调整如何基于日益具有反思性的社会行动者和组织。其结果不仅是备受吹嘘的“后现代状况”，还包括反思性的增长。在探索这个新的反思性世界时，作者认为，当今的经济越来越多地是由符号——信息、象征、图像、欲望——以及空间构成的，在其中，符号和社会主体——难民、金融家、游客和漫游者——都以更快的速度在更远的距离上移动。
This is a novel account of social change that supplants conventional understandings of `society' and presents a sociology that takes as its main unit of analysis flows through time and across space. Developing a comparative analysis of the UK and US, the new Germany and Japan, Lash and Urry show how restructuration after organized capitalism has its basis in increasingly reflexive social actors and organizations. The consequence is not only the much-vaunted `postmodern condition' but also a growth in reflexivity. In exploring this new reflexive world, the authors argue that today's economies are increasingly ones of signs - information, symbols, images, desire - and of space, where both signs and social subjects - refugees, financiers, tourists and fl[ci]aneurs - are mobile over ever greater distances at ever greater speeds.
