Michel Foucault's work on governmentality helped to focus the study of the phenomenon of neoliberalism. The shift has been from politics not interfering with the economic as a natural occurrence, to the economic being the foundation of all social interaction. Here government must protect the market where all individuals are entrepreneurs, including workers who contribute labor. Therefore the responsibility is placed on the individual, but the structural control is retained by owners of capital and the government. Governmentality is a space for this type of rationality that disciplines individuals and groups.
