Summary

What happens to individuals when they become part of a crowd? How can it be explained that intelligent human beings commit unspeakable cruelties once they have become one with an anonymous mass of people? Le Bon's analysis dates back to 1895 - however, the razor-sharp analysis of human behavior is still valid today!

Worthwhile, but of its time

A book of its time, but some observations and ideas are still very applicable.
