Gustave Le Bon 1841–1931 — a French psychologist, sociologist, and anthropologist who made significant contributions to the development of these sciences. In the book, the author examines various aspects of the psychology of peoples, including their culture, traditions, religion, and social norms. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the behavior of individuals in crowds and methods of mass control to achieve goals. Gustave Le Bon was able to accurately describe crowd behavior and explain why masses unconditionally submit to the power of dictators. According to historians, figures such as V.I. Lenin, I.V. Stalin, A. Hitler, and B. Mussolini have frequently referred to the work of Gustave Le Bon.
