Zygmunt Bauman has been hailed as one of the world's leading sociologists. He was a prolific writer who reputedly wrote at least 70 books and by his own account his work has been translated into 35 languages. This entry gives an overview of his main ideas, focusing especially on his intellectual affinities with the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory, his most famous book, which was on the Holocaust, his postmodernist phase, his concept of “liquid modernity,” and his belief that the major evils of liquid modernity were consumerism and growing inequality in an age of globalization
