Showing results for "The Crowd" in Social Sciences

Why do otherwise intelligent individuals form seething masses of idiocy when they engage in collective action? We may think that the Great Crash of 1929, junk bonds of the '80s, and over-valued high-tech stocks of the '90s are peculiarly 20th century aberrations, but Mackay's classic - first published in 1841 - shows that the madness and confusion of crowds knows no limits, and has no temporal bounds.

In Crowd A Study of the Popular Mind, Gustave Le Bon delves into the nature of crowds and their impact on civilization. He argues that throughout history, societies have been shaped and guided by a select intellectual elite rather than the masses. While crowds possess the power to destroy, they lack the capacity to create and maintain civilization, which requires discipline, rationality, and cultural sophistication. Le Bon likens the destructive influence of crowds to microbes that accelerate the decay of weakened societies. This thought-provoking exploration challenges readers to reconsider ...

Charles MacKays insightful work reminds us that Men think in herds; they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

His observations about economic bubbles, such as the dot com surge of the late 90s, continue to resonate in our increasingly populated world. Join ...

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind is a seminal work on crowd psychology by Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931), a French social psychologist. He observes that a crowd forms when an influential idea unites a number of individuals and prompts them to act towards a common goal. In a crowd, the conscious personality of the individual is submerged and dominated by the collective mind. Furthermore, every sentiment becomes contagious to a degree that individuals readily sacrifice their personal interest to the collective.

The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind by Gustave Le Bon. "Civilisations as yet have only been created and directed by a small intellectual aristocracy, never by crowds. Crowds are only powerful for destruction. Their rule is always tantamount to a barbarian phase. A civilisation involves fixed rules, discipline, a passing from the instinctive to the rational state, forethought for the future, an elevated degree of culture — all of them conditions that crowds, left to themselves, have invariably shown themselves incapable of realising. In consequence of the purely destructive nature of ...

They immigrated to America from Germany in the nineteenth century with names like Loeb, Sachs, Seligman, Lehman, Guggenheim, and Goldman. From tenements on the Lower East Side to Park Avenue mansions, this handful of Jewish families turned small businesses into imposing enterprises and amassed spectacular fortunes. But despite possessing breathtaking wealth that rivaled the Astors and Rockefellers, they were barred by the gentile establishment from the lofty realm of "the 400," a register of New York's most elite, because of their religion and humble backgrounds.

As a personal injury trial lawyer over the last 18 years, I have met, helped, and worked with a lot of very driven people. From clients to other attorneys, vendors, healthcare providers, and people all across the business and personal spectrum, there are a lot of driven people out there.

However, one thing I have noticed is that no matter where their passions lie, driven people tend to ...
