The World in Revolt: A Psychological Study of Our Times

by Gustave Le Bon, Bernard Miall (Translator)

The World In A Psychological Study Of Our Times is a book written by Gustave Le Bon, a French psychologist and sociologist. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the social and political upheavals that were taking place in the world during the early 20th century. Le Bon examines the psychological factors that led to the rise of revolutionary movements, such as socialism, anarchism, and nationalism. He argues that these movements were driven by a deep-seated sense of dissatisfaction with the existing social and political order, and that they were fueled by a desire for change and a belief in the power of collective action.The book also explores the role of propaganda and mass psychology in shaping public opinion and mobilizing the masses. Le Bon argues that modern societies are highly susceptible to manipulation by skilled propagandists, who use a variety of techniques to influence public opinion and shape political outcomes.Overall, The World In Revolt provides a thought-provoking analysis of the social and political forces that were reshaping the world during the early 20th century. It remains a relevant and insightful read for anyone interested in the psychology of social change and the dynamics of political movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
