The Century of the Self

(Checks wikipedia)
“The Century of the Self is a 2002 British television documentary series that focuses on the work of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.”

Freud is so last century.

“The documentary explores the various ways that governments, global organizations and corporations have used Freud’s theories.”

That’s interesting. I didn’t know they had used Freud’s work at all.

“the roots and methods of consumerism. It also questions the modern way people see themselves, the attitudes to fashion, and superficiality.”

What does that have to do with Freud? That’s the opposite of Freud. Freud’s work discarded superficiality.

They used Freud’s work to manipulate different populations.
