Very late, as I got attention on your blog only recently....
Much more important and laying ground to not only this book but to major developments (and many casualties) in the last 120 years is the Opus maximus of Gustave le Bon from 1895.
La manipulation des fiudes.
The manipulation of the masses.
One of the two sources of Josef Goebbels, Hitlers propaganda secretary.
Danke sehr! Aber ich kan nicht Französisch sprechen and I didn't see any English versions of the book. I added it to my list anyways, maybe I can find an English translation in some obscure online shop.
Welcome to the blog... As someone from Germany you must have plenty of modern examples of governments manipulating people into believing weird things. Shut down the nuclear power plants and burn more coal, to save the environment!
Regarding the latter, yes there are tons of examples.
Too many to mention and through almost any sector.
The mentioned book is a classic which has been translated into the major languages. As the copyrght has expired you should be able to find it either as an pdf or as a cheap print
A very important subject talked about too little. Thank you.
Thanks mate. Somebody has got to talk about these 100-year-old books 🫡
We’re all of the opinion that old books hold investing and life alpha.
For sure. The longer it stands the test of time, the better it probably is
That's what Lindy says.

Just realised the english title is entirely different.
Search for THE CROWD: A STUDY OF THE POPULAR MIND.
Ah ok, that'll make it easier to find. I'll buy a copy.
Cheers Chris
