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.
