\"he<\/a>The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom<\/em> is 2007 BBC documentary series made by challenging and thought provoking English filmmaker Adam Curtis<\/a>,\u00a0 who has been celebrated for this as well as his other documentaries including The Century of the Self<\/a> and The Power of Nightmares<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Three engrossing one-hour programmes explore the concept and definition of freedom, specifically, “how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today’s idea of freedom.”<\/p>\n

Curtis examines the rise of game theory during the Cold War and the way in which its mathematical models of human behaviour filtered into economic thought. Particular reference is made to the work of John Nash, who believed that all humans were inherently suspicious and selfish creatures that strategised constantly.<\/p>\n
