The Birth of Biopolitics
continues to pursue the themes of Foucault's lectures from
Security, Territory,
Population
.
Having shown how eighteenth-century political economy marks the birth of a new governmental rationality—seeking maximum effectiveness by governing less and in accordance with the naturalness of the phenomena to be governed—Michel Foucault undertakes a detailed analysis of the forms of this liberal governmentality. In a direct and conversational tone, this book raises questions of political philosophy and social policy that are at the heart of current debates about the role and status of neo-liberalism in twentieth century politics.
