| Sumario: | Based on the analysis of the course taught by Michel Foucault in 1979, Birth of Biopolitics, this article presents neoliberalism as a rationality of government that permeates both the logic of State action and the way of life of subjects. The inseparability between these two spheres of action has the main effect of weakening democracy, although Foucault does not deal with it in this course. The State governed by the logic of the market and the individual produced as a subject of interest are considered the two faces of neoliberalism, in relation to which it is possible to propose the exercise of a critical attitude. |
