Aliaq8's Reviews > The Crowd: Study of the Popular Mind

Zzzzzzz

Its a study, which is a bit dated and repetitive. There are much better and Updated studies than this.

a couple paragraphs that i disliked:
“It will be remarked that among the special characteristics of crowds there are several…which are almost always observed in beings belonging to inferior forms of evolution—in women, savages, and children, for instance.”

Tiberius, Ghengis Khan, and Napoleon were assuredly redoubtable tyrants, but from the depth of their graves Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Mahomet have exerted on the human soul a far profounder despotism.”
Despotism! (the exercise of absolute power, especially in a cruel and oppressive way.)

i want to rant more, but i've worn myself out trying to finish this book..
