Re: [Foucault-L] Foucault and History of Economics

Jason Read's essay in the latest Foucault Studies is on that theme. I would also recommend his book, The Micro-Politics of Capital.

You might want to complement that with Foucault's 1979 course, The Birth of
Biopolitics, which, unlike those two (fine book as they are), actually deals
with economics and the figure of man in neoliberal economy, "homo
oeconomicus".

Hi, all,

I am doing research on the history of economics from a foucauldian
perspective (mainly from "The Order of Things" and "Archaeology of
Knowledge"). I try to verify if Foucault's figure of Man appears in the
works of some economists of the nineteenth century. If anyone has a similar
kind of research or would like to exchange ideas about Foucault and history
economics, please, feel free to contact me!
