In this Take 1 Episode I share a reading of Ch. 25 from 'The Perspectives Files' where the protagonists visit 1962 Disneyland to learn about Walt Disney's attempts to compete with Universal City Studios for consumer entertainment. This book has been a lot of fun to write, and is a way for me to share how important group behavior is to understanding our society.
