  Abstract:   This article investigates in a critical vein the genealogy of political economy outlined in Michel Foucault’s theory of governmentality. The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate that the foucauldian analysis of the economy as a governmental device is marked by a constitutive ambiguity: on the one hand, Foucault’s approach has managed to challenge the mainstream’s view of economic history; on the other hand, this theory is still embedded in the liberal rationality.
