The Century Of The Self

The Century Of The Self is a fantastic documentary, produced by the BBC, that examines how Sigmund Freud's nephew helped the U.S. government and U.S. corporations transform the American worker into the American consumer. This four part documentary will really open your eyes (Americans, at least) to some things about the advertising we see every day, how much it changed America, and how it influences us. Turn off "The Hills" or whatever garbage you're watching, and watch something that will actually expand your mind. Or don't, it makes you more easily controllable.
