THE CENTURY OF THE SELF

How politicians and business learned to create and manipulate mass-consumer society.

Monday 29 April - Thursday 2 May 2002

Adam Curtis' acclaimed series examines the rise of the all-consuming self against the backdrop of the Freud dynasty.

How was the all-consuming self created, by whom, and in whose interests? --www.bbc.co.uk
