Social contagion
Biological
Contagion
Introduction
Eric Hoffer, 1902–1983
There is a grandeur in the uniformity of the mass. When a
fashion, a dance, a song, a slogan or a joke sweeps like
wildfire from one end of the continent to the other, and a
hundred million people roar with laughter, sway their
bodies in unison, hum one song or break forth in anger
and denunciation, there is the overpowering feeling that
in this country we have come nearer the brotherhood of
man than ever before.
