520 The story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and
his American nephew, Edward Bernays. Bernays invented the
public relations profession in the 1920s and was the first
person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses. He
showed American corporations how they could make people
want things they didn't need by systematically linking
mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires. Bernays
was one of the main architects of the modern techniques of
mass-consumer persuasion, using every trick in the book,
from celebrity endorsement and outrageous PR stunts, to
eroticising the motorcar. His most notorious coup was
breaking the taboo on women smoking by persuading them
that cigarettes were a symbol of independence and freedom.
But Bernays was convinced that this was more than just a
way of selling consumer goods. It was a new political idea
of how to control the masses. By satisfying the inner
irrational desires that his uncle had identified, people
could be made happy and thus docile.
