Description
Foucault and Neoliberalism by Daniel Zamora and Michael C. Behrent explores the complex relationship between Michel Foucault's ideas and the rise of neoliberalism in the decades following his death in 1984. This collection of essays delves into the ambiguity of Foucault's stance on neoliberalism, questioning whether he was a critic or an advocate of free market orthodoxy. The authors examine Foucault's critique of the welfare state as an instrument of biopower and his support for anti-Marxist thought among the new philosophers. By examining Foucault's work in this context, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the transformations on the left since May 1968 and the profound changes that have taken place in the French intellectual field over the past thirty years.
