The presenter of this TV series has done some other interesting documentaries on capitalism, economics, and health as well for the BBC.
You can find the list of those documentaries here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Peretti
In particular I recommend:
The Men Who Made Us Thin
The Men Who Made Us Fat
The Men Who Made Us Spend
