Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.\" Thus writes Gustave Le Bon in \u003cem\u003eThe Crowd\u003c\/em\u003e, widely regarded as one of the most insightful works of social psychology of the past 150 years. First published in 1896, \u003cem\u003eThe Crowd \u003c\/em\u003ehad a profound influence on many important figures of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, and its observations have been employed by politicians and dictators alike to exert their will over the popular mind. Central to Le Bon's analysis is his belief that the individual immersed in the crowd finds himself in a \"hypnotized state,\" in which his beliefs and morals are held captive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the capabilities of mass formation and control far exceed even what Le Bon could have imagined, and his analysis of the nature of crowds takes on a whole new light in the age of instant communication and information transfer. Whether you are trying to influence a crowd, or keep out of its clutches, Le Bon's book will prove an invaluable read. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10356242\"\u003eGustave Le Bon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenpoint Books, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798886770155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8886770154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PSY\"\u003ePsychology\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PSY031000\"\u003eSocial Psychology\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC026000\"\u003eSociology | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenpoint Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44585325560045,"sku":"9798886770155","price":17.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_fed4acf7-40b8-4356-bdf4-7baa36a182ee.jpg?v=1702160440","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/the-crowd-a-study-of-the-popular-mind-and-mass-formation-9798886770155","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
