| Tiivistelmä: | The emergence of the modern corporation occurs at the same time as that of the modern state and liberal governmentality, although its role in the development of 'bio-power' has not been carefully studied. This paper examines the royal use of corporations to manage the poor through work creation schemes and hence effect a capitalist transformation of the eastern Netherlands; specifically, the creation of the Dutch textile industry. These work creation schemes drew on the cameralistic 'police sciences' cited by Foucault in his genealogy of bio-power. This article traces the means by which cameralistic disciplinary techniques for the control of paupers were adopted by entrepreneurs who replaced Willem I, the 'merchant-king' as the 'visible hand of the market'. It highlights the origins of managerialism in 'social' not 'political economy'. |
