The crowd

A Study of the Popular Mind
Book • 1895
In 'The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind', Gustave Le Bon examines the psychology of crowds, highlighting their impulsiveness, irrationality, and susceptibility to suggestion.

He argues that crowds exhibit a unique mentality distinct from that of individuals, often leading to unpredictable and extreme behaviors.

The book remains a foundational work in social psychology, influencing thinkers like Sigmund Freud.
