The Delusions Of Crowds: Financial Bubbles, End-Times Manias, and the Reasons People Go Mad in Groups

The book "Mass Delusions" by William J.

Bernstein is a groundbreaking exploration of the biological, evolutionary, and psychosocial roots of human irrationality.

Through vivid storytelling, Bernstein delves into the history of dramatic religious and financial mania in Western society over the last 500 years, from the Anabaptist Madness to the dangerous End-Times beliefs that animate ISIS and pervade today's polarized America.

With a focus on the huge cost and alarming implications of mass delusion, Bernstein reveals how these phenomena have profoundly affected US Middle East policy and offers insights into recognizing and avoiding their impact in our own time.

This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human nature and the dangers of mass hysteria.
