Have we all gone mad? : why groupthink is rising and how to stop it
Booth, Jerome P. (Jerome Paul)2022
Books
Groupthink often goes unrecognised and is not confined to boardroom or small-group decision-making. Mass groupthink amongst the elite affects millions of people and is a real problem. It needs challenging for the sake of better private and public decisions, for our mental health, for a strong society and in order to preserve the benefits of liberalism and democracy. From the Salem witch trials to the Bay of Pigs debacle, and from the 2008 financial crisis to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, groupthink has been responsible for some of the worst decisions ever made. Now, supercharged by new media, groupthink is threatening the very fabric of society. This important and compelling book by celebrated economist Dr Jerome Booth shows us that we must turn the tide before it's too late.
