The Century of the Self
This BBC documentary in 4 parts shows you how groups can be controlled very effectively and democracy can be tricked a bit here and there...
"To many in both politics and business, the triumph of the self is the ultimate expression of democracy, where power has finally moved to the people. Certainly the people may feel they are in charge, but are they really? The Century of the Self tells the untold and sometimes controversial story of the growth of the mass-consumer society in Britain and the United States. How was the all-consuming self created, by whom, and in whose interests?"
I even found the 4 parts of the documentary on Google Video!
Part 1, here. Part2, here. Part 3, here. Part 4, here.
