Foucault and Post-Financial Crises : Governmentality, Discipline and Resistance Paperback / softback
by John G. Glenn
Part of the International Political Economy Series series
Paperback / softback
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.
