Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Psychology of Power series returns with its most intimate and unsettling volume yet.Power doesn't only corrupt the person who holds it. It systematically corrupts everyone in its orbit - the advisors, deputies, loyalists, and enforcers who surround every powerful figure. The inner circle is where the decisions that shape the world are actually made. And it is where the people who make them are being silently remade.Drawing on research in social psychology, neuroscience, and organisational behaviour, The Inner Circle examines the specific mechanisms through which proximity to power corrupts those who experience it: the neurological intoxication of access, the identity distortion of reflected glory, the escalating loyalty trap that makes exit feel impossible, and the groupthink that causes rooms full of intelligent people to make catastrophically poor decisions.Through five major case studies - Hitler's court, Stalin's inner circle, the Nixon White House, Theranos, and the institutional complicity surrounding Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein - Victor Lane shows how these mechanisms have operated across radically different historical, political, and corporate contexts, producing the same predictable patterns every time.The Inner Circle is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how good people end up doing terrible things in service of powerful leaders - and what institutions can do to stop it.…
