Default "The Crowd" by Gustave Le Bon

One book you'll often see on professional trader's list of most highly recommended books is "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind", written in 1896 by French social psychologist and sociologist, Gustave Le Bon.



Le Bon's work contributed greatly to the fields of social and crowd psychology.



You can find a copy of the book in text-file format here:

Tks Grahamtastic, if it's anything like Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the madness of Crowds by Charles Mckay I'll give it a read.
