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. 538 DVD. 590 PFA 0230-01-12495. |aCOPY-SPECIFC DESCRIPTION: 1 videodisc of 2 (d2) (58:43 min.) : sd., col. with b&w sequences ; 4 3/4 in. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2008/07/08 Excellent condition. 600 10 Freud, Matthew. 600 10 Bernays, Edward L.,|d1891-1995. 600 10 Clinton, Bill,|d1946-|xPublic opinion. 600 10 Blair, Tony,|d1953-|xPublic opinion. 650 0 Political socialization|xPsychological aspects. 650 0 Public opinion|xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Public opinion|xPsychological aspects. 650 0 Focus groups|xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Consumers|xPsychology. 650 0 Consumer behavior. 650 0 Consumption (Economics)|xPsychological aspects. 650 0 Motivation research (Marketing) 650 0 Public relations|xHistory|y20th century. 655 7 Television.|2mim 655 7 Mini-series.|2mim 655 7 Documentaries and factual works.|2mim 690 British films. 700 1 Curtis, Adam,|d1955- 710 2 British Broadcasting Corporation. 710 2 BN Publishing. 935 GLADN17748447 941 0 PFA 0230-01-12495.
