Synopsis

In this groundbreaking study, renowned historian Rudolph Binion develops a whole new of understanding human history. Exploring the collective dimension of human behavior in various historic contexts, he argues that people participate in purposeful group actions while pursuing only their own individual ends as far as they know. The basic moving force in history thus [illegible] neither individual motives, nor abstract tendencies such as modernization or globalization, but group process operating in concealment. Through several complementary historic case studies ranging over two millenniums, Binion demonstrates how individuals pursue group purposes, or hidden group agendas, unawares.
