The Psychology of Totalitarianism
🛒 Purchase Options
📝 Description
This book provides a psychological analysis of the rise of totalitarianism in modern society, focusing on the phenomenon of 'mass formation.' Mattias Desmet explores how social isolation, lack of meaning, and free-floating anxiety lead populations to follow authoritarian leaders and embrace irrational narratives. Desmet's work draws on historical examples and psychological theory to explain how crowds can become hypnotized by a single ideology, leading to the erosion of individual critical thinking and the acceptance of extreme state control.
