In this clear and vivid book, Gustave Le Bon throws light on the
unconscious irrational workings of group thought and mass emotion as he
places crowd ideology in opposition to free-thinking and independent
minded individuals.The ideas le Bon explores in this book are extremely
relevant to today's society and were of pivotal importance in the early
years of group psychology.Applications include financial market
behaviour and political delusions.
The Sparkling Books edition has been annotated and edited based on the
1907 Alcan edition and previous translations.
