The Crowd The Crowd: A Study Of The Popular Mind

The Crowd: A Study Of The Popular Mind (French: Psychologie Des Foules; Literally: Psychology Of Crowds) Is A Book Authored By Gustave Le Bon.

He Researched The Dynamics Of Large Groups Of People And How Their Behaviour Patterns Were Differing From The Individual S Behaviour.

He Showed How Easily Crowds Could Be Manipulated And How Weak Their Resistance Against Lies And Manipulation Was.

In Essence, Le Bon Argues That A Person In A Crowd Becomes Hypnotized And Taken Over By The Influence Or Magnetism Of The Crowd.

As Populations Have Grown And The Ability For People To Gather And Share Ideas Has Become Greater, Le Bon S Observations Regarding The Dangers Of Crowds Remain As Relevant And Important Today As When They Were Written Over A Century Ago.
