With this timely commitment, Jacques Bidet unites the theories of
arguably the world's two greatest emancipatory political thinkers.
In this far-reaching and decisive text, Bidet examines Marxian and
Foucauldian criticisms of capitalist modernity. For Marx, the
intersection between capital and the market is crucial, while for
Foucault, the organizational aspects of capital are what really
matter. According to Marx, the ruling class is identified with
property; with Foucault, it is the managers who hold power and
knowledge that rule. Bidet identifies these two sides of capitalist
modernity as 'market' and 'organization', showing that each leads
to specific forms of social conflict; against exploitation and
austerity, over wages and pensions on the one hand, and against
forms of 'medical' and work-based discipline, control of bodies and
prisons on the other. Bidet's impetus and clarity however serve a
greater purpose: uniting two souls of critical social theory, in
order to overcome what has become an age-long separation between
the 'old left' and the 'new social movements'.
