Adam Curtis. A natural history of power. Session 3

Neocon policies

Directors
Adam Curtis

Adam Curtis is the leading figure in contemporary audiovisual essay. His films and series, as lucid as they are revealing, show the operation of power, its winding architecture, and how it marks both present-day geopolitics and us.

Neocon policies, Ayn Rand’s individualistic objectivism and Silicon Valley conspired at the end of the last century to promote an implacable attack on the state and the general good, in favour of self-regulation and meritocracy.
