The Century Of The Self

I watched this excellent documentary the other day. It is about how the public are conned by big business into believing that ‘democracy’ and ‘freedom’ in the form of free enterprise (business) must go together: we are, it seems, conned into believing that you can't have democracy without free enterprise, when in fact the two have little to do with each other. Also, it shows how we are manipulated into wanting things we don't need so we'll spend our hard-earned money on the products of the rich people's factories. Episode 1 is here; there are four in all on Google Video, each just under an hour long.
