Ours is a post-political society that cannot imagine radical
change; a 'one dimensional' society in which politics is reduced to
economic concerns. Paradoxically, however, everybody today is
subjected to the imperative of regular radical change. Populations
have grown accustomed to the idea that one constantly needs to
adapt to radical transformations, modify one's life strategy in
tune with the demands of the market on the one hand and the
politics of security on the other. Indeed, the idea that there are
unquestionable authorities, the idea of 'despotism', no longer
refers to exceptional circumstances in which politics is suspended
but rather seems to have become normalized as part of daily life.
This book aims to articulate the genealogy of the
despotism-economy-voluntary servitude nexus focusing on their
different constellations in the prism of social theory and
political philosophy. As it traces the genealogy of this nexus its
concern is the field of formation, intervention and intelligibility
that arises when and as the three concepts encounter one another.
