The Psychology of Peoples and Masses

Gustave Le Bon 1841–1931 — a French psychologist, sociologist, and anthropologist who made significant contributions to the development of these sciences. In the book, the author examines various aspects of the psychology of peoples, including their culture, traditions, religion, and... social norms. Special attention is given to analyzing the behavior of individuals in a crowd and the methods of mass management to achieve goals. Gustave Le Bon was able to describe crowd behavior quite accurately and explain why masses unreservedly submit to the authority of dictators. According to historians, figures such as V.I. Lenin, I.V. Stalin, A. Hitler, and B. Mussolini have repeatedly referred to the work of Gustave Le Bon. The book will be useful for anyone who wants to change their worldview and look at familiar things from a different perspective.
