The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind – Gustave Le Bon
“Le Bon, Gustave (1841-1931)” – Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism
- “Crowds are credulous, unpremeditated in their actions, and untrustworthy as a source of reliable testimony. The crowd’s ‘collective mind’ responds to suggestions more readily than the individual minds of its members, hence its ‘servility’ in the face of strong authority.”
- “Edward Bernays, widely regarded as the father of modern advertising, drew heavily on Le Bon’s work when formulating his ideas on propaganda and mass manipulation.”
