The Century Of Self

Chomsky refers to this all the time. Where propaganda, had become a bad word near the beginning of the century, the term "Public Relations" began to be used. Propaganda was rooted in Freud's idea that human nature had hidden primitive sexual and animal forces.

This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in the age of mass democracy. This is a very interesting series (see parts one, two, three, four).
