Watched the first one, Jon, and found it very good indeed. My line’s acting up, though (courtesy our national telecoms provider) and I’ve yet to get the other two. In a way, this is pretty much a political history and can be enjoyed as such. I’m pretty much taken with the idea that “creative chaos” drives much of what is happening and that Bush and his Gang are laying the groundwork for what comes two to ten years down the line — and hope the remaining episodes cover some of that. If they don’t, so what? They’ll be good to watch anyway. (Some of the force of the movie derives from interviews with Nash — I recall the near reverence accorded the movie, which now comes across as a pale and anemic reflection of the past — not what it might have been.)
Glad you found it informative… yes.. the trap is really really important. If only it could reach more people… this certainly helps.. telling others.. passing it around. -take care.

I like that title very much. Here is a link to a page describing The Century of the Self and providing download links, in case any one needs it:
