“We are continually impressed by the discrepancy between what is supposed to happen and what does happen, between law and fact, the institution and the individual, what people say they do and what they actually do, what leaders think people want and what people do want.”
In 1937, a group of three men decided to embark upon an anthropological study of the British populace, using members of said populace who reported on their own activities as well as those of friends and neighbours. Some participants were paid eavesdroppers, others volunteer diarists. The organization was called Mass-Observation, and was active until the 1960s. More info at the New Yorker.
