Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds and Confusion de Confusiones Free Audiobook Download by Martin S. Fridson

The book, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds and Confusion de Confusiones by Martin S. Fridson is a study in crowds and the effects that collective behavior can have on individuals as well as society. It explains how human beings are at their best when working for the common good but can quickly become overwhelmed by negative influences of society that make it difficult to steer clear from the grip of these bad influences.

The book discusses the idea of "confusion" as it pertains to crowds, what leads to it, and how society reacts to it. The author also talks about the causes of such events as the French Revolution, the South Sea Bubble, and other cases in which people were confused.

The book discusses the history of these extraordinary popular delusions and how these things have led to some rather confusing consequences. One such example is the belief in witches, which has led to persecution, murder, and torture. A second example is the widespread panic over cholera during the early 1800s.

Confusiones is the work of Martin S. Fridson and it is a book about cognitive science, and crowds, and how they drive great popularity. The book was written in 2004 and has generated a lot of interest with its concepts as well as the fact that it was written by an expert in its field.

The book was originally published in 1841 so it wasn't necessarily written in the context of current events, but the author's take on how people make decisions is still relevant today. Fridson argues that there are four primary causes for these mistakes: ignorance, flawed reasoning, self-deception, and group dynamics. He then goes on to explain each of these causes in more detail.
