I'm currently watching that series... interesting stuff. Another must, for any who haven't seen it, is the British documentary series "Century of the Self", about American conditioning specifically.
- macavity23 14y ago'Century of the Self' is indeed amazing (as is everything else by Adam Curtis) and can be found for free here: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-century-of-the-self/ http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-century-of-the-self/ It's not specifically about American conditioning though... it starts with Freud (Austria, then UK), wanders off to Edward Bernays (Austria, the US), talks about the US PR/Advertising industry for a while (totally fascinating to bear in mind while watching 'Mad Men' IMHO) and then ends up with Tony Blair (UK) via Bill Clinton. Thanks for the Showtime documentary pointer - will look that up.
