Foucault announced that his lectures of 1977–78 would be on ‘biopolitics’; in the end, they were on governmentality: from the pastoral of souls to the raison d’état. He announced his lectures of 1978–79 would also be on ‘biopolitics’, but then presented lectures based on textual analysis, examining the way Smith and Ferguson invented a distinctive conception of civil society from that of Hobbes, Rousseau or Montesquieu, one that opened a site of civil society. These latter lectures continued by examining the birth of neo-liberalism in the very specific conjuncture of Germany at the end of the 1930s; it subsequently migrated, in a further mutation of ‘anarchocapitalism’, to Chicago. Foucault adopted radically opposed methods in these two lecture courses.
