The Century Of The Self

I just watched the first part which concentrates on how Edward Bernays helped turn American Citizen into American Consumer. If you want to watch click on the link then scroll down to Episodes. Can you post google videos into threads or is it just youtube?

Sounds pretty interesting. I'll have to find some time later to take a look.

cool, part 2 is really good too. It's interesting to have a glimpse into how Pleasant Ville America was moulded.

The same guy who made this series is coming out with another called The Trap which starts on BBC this Sunday evening so people with HDTV set it to record if you're interested. Here is a brief outline of what this series covers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trap_%28film%29
