Béatrice Hibou, "The Bureaucratization the world in the neoliberal
era" (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]

The Bureaucratization the world to Béatrice Hibou neoliberal era is actually a refreshing 
work in the analytical approach it proposes of neoliberalism. ---- Owl is based both on 
the work of Weber, Foucault and Socialisme ou Barbarie (especially those of Claude Lefort) 
to focus on the ongoing changes in thirty years of capitalism. It shows the highlighting 
of one of the unrecognized or underestimated aspects of neoliberalism: the 
buraucratisation happens in its wake. ---- The author's thesis posits that one of the 
first aspects of this phenomenon is the explosion of standards and monitoring bodies of 
these standards in modern capitalism. ---- The first chapter depicts this fact quite funky 
way along a nurse for a day and paperwork maze, whether in the exercise of the profession 
but also outside.

Generally, Owl quite brilliantly demonstrates how neoliberalism in a critical discourse of 
the bureaucracy is actually one of the most common that encourages this type of domination.

We can follow up to a point because, for example, his analysis tends to obscure class 
relations. Nevertheless it is one of the more innovative approaches that have ever read 
from those made by Loïc Wacquant and I warmly encourage all those interested in feeding 
their neoliberal movement analysis with reading this book.
