Compelling BBC FOUR documentary "Century of the Self" (2009)

Compelling 4 part documentary which explains how governments have used Freudian theories about selfish human desires, to control the general public and keep them docile, thus allowing those in power to continue to rule and become obscenely wealthy, largely unchallenged.

 



1. Happiness Machines
2. The Engineering of Consent
3. There is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads: He Must Be Destroyed
4. Eight People Sipping Wine in Kettering

This is a must watch for anyone interested finding out why society has become so selfish and so narcissistic and so paranoid over the past thirty years, and for anyone who wants to contribute towards creating a more ethical, more humane, less stressful existence for humans in the future.
