The Century of Self.....A Nation of Selfishness

Thanks to Gar for introducing me to www.tv-links.cc and this particular documentary.

We are often fascinated with conspiracy theories. We love watching movies with dark and shadowy figures that seek to manipulate the public for personal gain and profit. Well here is the documentary for you.

It discusses how Edward Bernays shaped the 20th century. After watching this you would be convinced that he was the most influential figure of the past century. Using the principles of his uncle Freud he shaped public opinion, used psycho analysis to convince us what to buy, helped the CIA commit some of its most nefarious acts, helped elect Reagan, Clinton and Blair. Every seminal moment or trend from the 1920's to the present has felt his influential hand.
