I think that's perceptive--when I first got into Foucault, I began by
reading HS1 (not really knowing what was going on), then went back to
D&P--and one of the things that immediately struck me was how much D&P
seems to be flavoured by Marx, and how that flavour completely drops out
between the two books. But I've never seen anyone else comment on that
shift, so I kind of wondered if I imagined it.
