Subject: New Print Article
A German translation of my article Thought Contagion and Mass Belief has
just been published in the Swiss journal gdi-impuls. The article provides a
general introduction to thought contagion theory, and applies it to the
pre-war spread of anti-Semitism and overt Nazism in the population. The
section pertaining specifically to anti-Semitism and Nazism is available as
an online excerpt at http://www.mcs.net/~aaron/tcambpart.htm.
Written for those with no prior knowledge of thought contagion theory, the
article introduces the subject with application to stock market rumors, the
pre-war spread of Nazi ideology, Freudian psychoanalysis, body piercing,
cigars, television violence, religion, and sexual morality. An English
language excerpt is at http://www.mcs.net/~aaron/tcambpart.htm.
