Psychology of nations and crowds

Gustave Le Bon (1841–1931) was a French psychologist, sociologist, and anthropologist who made a significant contribution to the development of these sciences. In his book, the author examines various aspects of the psychology of nations, including their culture, traditions, religion, and social norms. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the behavior of individuals in a crowd and the methods of controlling masses to achieve certain goals. Gustave Le Bon was able to accurately describe the behavior of crowds and explain why masses unquestioningly submit to the authority of dictators. According to historians, figures such as V.I. Lenin, J.V. Stalin, A. Hitler, and B. Mussolini have referred to Gustave Le Bon's work. The book will be useful for anyone who wants to change their worldview and look at familiar things from a different perspective.
