But communication as Dewey has defined the term, is something more and different than what Tarde calls "inter-stimulation."
The most instructive works on this problem are those of Tarde, and Oelzelt-Newin.
Tarde more exactly distinguishes between crowds, associations, and corporations.
He was suggestive of no acquaintance with Tarde, Lombroso or any other authorities on crime and criminals.
For Tarde, communication (transmission of cultural forms and traits) is the one central and significant fact of social life.
