Crowds and Power (Elihu Katz)

Actually, "Crowds and Power" is a book by Elias Canetti, not Elihu Katz. In this work, Canetti explores how crowds influence human behavior and societal dynamics, highlighting that individuals often act differently when part of a group, leading to collective actions that can be powerful or unpredictable. He examines the psychology of crowds, their potential for both chaos and order, and how they can shape history and authority. The book offers insights into the nature of crowd behavior, power structures, and the ways groups can exert influence on society and individuals.
