Abstract

From the analysis of the arising of homo œconomicus and the character of interest and his differences as to the notion of a homo juridicus and a character of right, Michel Foucault discuss the question in the course “Le naissance de la biopolitique” (1978-1979) the relations among the right, the economy and the policy. Reflecting in this direction Foucault points out the Liberalism as a critical enterprise elaborate against the political rationality that turns into a political philosophy. According to the political economy of Adam Smith, we will see that Foucault points out the economic liberalism as a form of disqualification of the political project which places the sovereign and legal State and its art to govern as “the correct disposal of the things, which assumes the responsibility to lead to a convenient end”.
