In the late 1970s, Michel Foucault dedicated a number of
controversial lectures on the subject of neoliberalism. Had
Foucault been seduced by neoliberalism? Did France's premier
leftist intellectual, near the end of his career, turn to the
right? In this book, Geoffroy de Lagasnerie argues that far from
abandoning the left, Foucault's analysis of neoliberalism was a
means of probing the limits and lacunae of traditional political
philosophy, social contract theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis.
For Lagasnerie, Foucault's analysis was an attempt to discover
neoliberalism's singularity, understand its appeal, and unearth its
emancipatory potential in order to construct a new art of
rebelliousness. By reading Foucault's lectures on neoliberalism as
a means of developing new practices of emancipation, Lagasnerie
offers an original and compelling account of Michel Foucault's most
controversial work.
