The Century of the Self
Manage episode 335154444 series 3326719
John and Danny muse on Adam Curtis’ documentary series “The Century of the Self” (2002), which focuses on the work of psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud and Anna Freud, and PR consultant Edward Bernays. We explore Curtis’ analysis of how those in power have used Freud's theories to encourage mass consumerism and control people in an age of mass democracy, and we discuss the ways they continue to shape the way we live and think today.
