520 This episode explains how politicians on the left, in both
Britain and America, turned to the techniques developed by
business to read and fulfill the inner desires of the
self. Both New Labour, under Tony Blair, and the Democrats,
led by Bill Clinton, used the focus group, which had been
invented by psychoanalysts, in order to regain power. They
set out to mould their policies to people's inner desires
and feelings, just as capitalism had learnt to do with
products. Out of this grew a new culture of public
relations and marketing in politics, business and
journalism. One of its stars in Britain was Matthew Freud
who followed in the footsteps of his relation, Edward
Bernays, the inventor of public relations in the 1920s.
The politicians believed they were creating a new and
better form of democracy, one that truly responded to the
inner feelings of individual. But what they didn't realise
was that the aim of those who had originally created these
techniques had not been to liberate the people but to
develop a new way of controlling them.
