Of the various forms of collective irrationality, groupthink is particularly dangerous. It involves adherence to a faulty consensus, often has a binary moral dimension (one is seen as either virtuous or evil) and is sustained through fear to challenge. Counter-intuitively, the most intelligent and erudite amongst us are particularly susceptible, and when groupthink takes hold, vigorous efforts are made to shut down debate and to bully and punish transgressors.  As a result, toleration, liberalism, history, reason and science are under threat. Mass groupthink amongst both the elite and the masses affects millions of people. It has led to financial mismanagement leading up to the 2008 crisis and beyond; poor decision-making at the onset of Covid-19; exaggerated, unchallenged claims which have motivated nonsensical policies; and distortions in academia and journalism.  In this remarkable and prescient book, Dr Jerome Booth investigates why some of us have abandoned reason in favour of trite memes, intolerance and hatred. Have we all gone mad? Or can we identify the patterns and causes of what is happening and try to stop it?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49557260566801,"sku":"GOR012717153","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745976819985,"sku":"NGR9781785907722","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052326650129,"sku":"NIN9781785907722","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53058475786513,"sku":"GOR012743759","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1785907727.jpg?v=1751425729"},{"product_id":"nurse-s-handbook-of-investigations-book-jerome-booth-9780063182356","title":"Nurse's Handbook of Investigations","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50953304310033,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50953304736017,"sku":"GOR003868028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0063182351.jpg?v=1750939787"},{"product_id":"emerging-markets-in-an-upside-down-world-book-jerome-booth-9781911443001","title":"Emerging Markets in an Upside Down World","description":"\u003cp\u003eJerome does a masterful job detailing the intellectual failures in the way we think about the world in economics, in finance theory and in the practice of investing.

Jerome Booth not only understands this, but is determined the rest of us understand it too. No arm-chair screen-based economist, Dr Booth's writings are built on years of hands-on emerging markets experience. The rise of the emerging markets is a reality. The future is now. This trend could either benefit the West, or hasten our decline - depending on how we play it. Our current approach - lip-service, combined with denial and confrontation - is deeply-counter-productive. Dr Booth argues, instead, for respect, engagement and deep political and commercial co-operation. He is surely correct - and the prosperity of our children and grandchildren depend on his message breaking through.\u003cbr\u003e --\u003cb\u003eLiam Halligan, Economics Commentator, Sunday Telegraph.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52589631373585,"sku":"NLS9781911443001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52756181844241,"sku":"NIN9781911443001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781911443001.jpg?v=1761060452"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-jerome-booth.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
