MICHEL FOUCAULT, info.

Hi all,

I'm dropping out of list lurk-mode to ask a question.  Someone here once 
put forward the idea that Foucault's notion of discipline and 
normalization was grounded in and depended upon economic plenty.  This 
seems to make a lot of sense to me, the idea that "saving" or perfecting 
the individual requires that decision makers are functioning without 
(severe) economic considerations when they gear the disciplinary 
apparatus toward the individual.  Could whoever mentioned this, or anyone 
else who has any ideas on the subject, either post to the list, or e-mail 
me?  I want to include this idea in a project I am working on, and any 
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
