I would love to see a psychological study of minds, based upon a cross-section of people who have seen this series in its entirety.
What do people of different viewpoints and mindsets take away from this documentary?
Monopolies are good or bad - labor laws and unions are good or bad - restricting the development of new technologies in order to maintain a stranglehold over people is good or bad - and on and on....
As they say, people who do not study history are destined to repeat it.
Many would say that this history is very similar to today's economic and technological battles on many levels.
Power, greed, unfair wages, repressed advancements to maintain a status-quo, political payoffs, etc.
I would bet conservatives and liberals will spin this series very differently, without any prompting. I guess it's just human nature.
