Description
This is a sociological book in which Gustave Le Bon discusses the political spirit of groups as the driving force of intellectual life, leading their struggles in all other human spheres, such as the economic, military, and social arenas. The author addresses a number of pivotal issues, most notably the extent of the tyranny of oppressive regimes and the rejection by European socialist movements of the capitalist monopoly on power. He then examines the consequences of applying European educational methods to underdeveloped nations and discusses the colonial approach of European countries that exploit the resources of other nations under the guise of freedom, highlighting several instances of political assassinations and religious intolerance and persecution that plague certain societies.
