Description
Crowds and Power by Elias Canetti is a unique and influential study of the dynamics of crowds and collective behavior. The book explores why masses of people obey rulers and examines the psychological and social mechanisms behind power and authority. Canetti draws parallels between governance and human suspicion, analyzing how individuals react within groups. He also studies the famous German judge Daniel Paul Schreber’s notes, offering insights alongside critiques inspired by Sigmund Freud and Gustave Le Bon. Combining history, psychology, and sociology, the work provides a deep understanding of mass behavior. Crowds and Power remains a seminal text for analyzing social, political, and psychological phenomena in human societies.
