The Birth of Biopolitics : Lectures at the College De France, 1978-1979

The original work by Foucault is available in English for the first time.It offers new insight into some of Foucault's key ideas which appear in the better known work "The Will to Know".

It deals with crucial political issues that are very relevant to our time.Foucault continues on the theme of his 1978 course by focusing on the study of liberal and neo-liberal forms of government and concentrating in particular on two forms of neo-liberalism: German post-war liberalism and the liberalism of the Chicago School.
