I had this documentary pointed out to me by numerous people. It's a fascinating look at how the world's financial and political systems were affected by ideology, computers, and Ayn Rand.

It's simplified, obviously, but I agree with all of the major points. Absolutely fascinating. I'm very grateful to the BBC for producing stuff like this.

Have you seen his other works? The Century of Self is especially fascinating.

I wanted to watch that last night but, being down at the Boss's place, we were subjected to his missus' TV preferences so it was soaps and Super Size Ambulance! I could feel the brain cells throwing themselves against the inside of my skull in a suicidal mass-protest.

At least there's iPlayer.
