Crowds and Power by Elias Canetti.
Book Description
How do crowds work? What is the nature of their unique creation – the
demagogue? This is the renowned and original analysis of one of this
century’s most threatening and influential phenomena by the nobel
prize-winning thinker.
Considered one of the great books of the twentieth century Crowds and
Power was the work responsible for winning Elias Canetti the 1981 Nobel
Prize. From the destructive behaviour of soccer crowds to the horror of
tyrannical rulers and from Bushmen and Pueblo Indian rain dances to the
pilgrimage to Mecca, the author takes us on a fascinating journey through
anthropology, psychology, biology, religion and literature. Ranging from the
deeply profound to the overtly controversial - from the finger exercises of
monkeys to the hallucinations of alcoholics - this book will change forever the
way you look at groups of people and realise their awesome potential to be
manipulated for good or for evil. He concludes that 'If we would master
power we must face command openly and boldly, and search for means to
deprive it of its sting'. This book will change forever the way you look at
groups of people and the whole concept of power.
