MOBS: FACTS & STATS
“Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets,” by William R. Bonner and Lila Rajiva. John Wiley, 2007.
“Mobs” is not a pop sociology tract. It’s simply our report on the state of affairs in what we call the public spectacle. Wars, manias, swindles — don’t any of these call for some excoriation?
