Michel Foucault Quotes

A Policing Of Sex: That Is, Not The Rigor Of A Taboo, But The Necessity Of Regulating Sex Through Useful And Public Discourses. A Few Examples Will Suffice. One Of The Great Innovations In The Techniques Of Power In The Eighteenth Century Was The Emergence Of "population" As An Economic And Political Problem: Population As Wealth, Population As Manpower Or Labor Capacity, Population Balanced Between Its Own Growth And The Resources It Commanded.
