Have you seen "Century of the Self" based on Bernay's work? I think it is available on YouTube.
Wasn't he also related to Freud?

The world is run by the multi-nationals and not the governments, who have power because being multi-national they can easily move money around from country to country. We are all targets of consumerism. How does it make me feel? I try not to be a victim of consumerism.

Xanthippe
I run my life d, I just stay aware. I don't want to be a victim. We need very few things but they try and tell us we need so much more. It is insidious but we just have to keep our brains in gear. It is sometimes scary because of the level of manipulation but I tend to see it as a lot of apes in market stalls trying to sell me stuff, all shouting at once. It just seems so much more sophisticated than it really is because we all like shiny new things and we care what our friends think of us.
