Foucault and Post-Financial Crises : Governmentality, Discipline and Resistance Hardback
by John G. Glenn
Part of the International Political Economy Series series
Hardback
Description
This title explains the causes of the financial crisis and the economic reforms that were created subsequently through a Foucauldian philosophical lens.
The author sets out the approaches established by Foucault – namely governmentality, biopolitics and disciplinary mechanisms – explaining how these influenced the shift of production from a local to a global level, alongside a shift towards financialisation.
Glenn applies Foucauldian principles to aid understanding of the self-corrective mechanisms applied to the financial system, and the interpellative processes that led to the emergence of a new mode of subjectification.
Concurrently, this title examines the retreat of the state from the financial sphere.
This shift, the author posits, did not mean the complete absence of governance; rather governance became more concerned with ensuring that financial behaviour was contained within certain limits.
