Edward L. Bernays began his seminal 1928 book, egregiously titled “PROPAGANDA”, with these revealing words in the very first chapter “ORGANIZING CHAOS”:

'THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.
 
Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet. They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.'
 

Those “new ways to bind and guide the world” have come a long way since 1928, as was observed by the late behavioralist and essayist Aldous Huxley. He termed the zenith of such binding principle for organizing society the “Ultimate Revolution” whereby, people could actually be made to love their own servitude. Novelist George Orwell too looked at the organizing principle for forcibly binding people to a tortuous conformant regimen, which we have nowadays, unfortunately, become all too familiar with as the “United We Stand” in the most burlesque of modern absurdities: The War on Terrorism. The sophisticated fabrication of its “doctrinal motivation” and “intellectual commitment” to mobilize the democratic masses for “imperial mobilization”, was examined in considerable depth in the author's 2003 book Prisoners of the Cave 
( http://PrisonersoftheCave.org ).

Modernity has become a complex and refined amalgam of all these age old techniques of social control to “bind and guide the world” for the same organizing principle now pedantically, almost respectably, called SOCIAL ENGINEERING.
