The Mayfair Set - The Rise of Business and the Decline of Political Power

This site will be taking a break over the silly season. To give my avid reader something to do, I have uploaded the four one hour episodes of this award winning documentary from 1999 by Adam Curtis.

The series covers the decline of the industrial base, government scrimping on defence and cosying up to big business, dodgy arms deals, asset stripping, stock market bubbles, privatisations, miners, deregulation, junk bonds, insider dealing, corrupt MPs, shady investment bankers, financial crises, boom, bust, and much more besides.

Episode 1 - Who pays wins

Episode 2 - Entrepreneur spelt S.P.I.V.

Episode 3 - Destroy the technostructure

Episode 4 - Twilight of the dogs

Each episode 350MB in size.
