Sumario:This article aims to establish the new forms of neoliberal governmentality by contrasting the concept of wealth between classical liberalism and the neoliberal model through the analysis proposed by Michel Foucault. As a result of this exercise, the forms of biopolitical governmentality in neoliberalism are identified, highlighting the ruptures and similarities between both models. Additionally, it seeks to determine whether there is a transition from wealth to precarity as the ultimate goal of the state, a proposition advocated by Isabel Lorey. The article then analyzes precarity as an economic and ontological phenomenon, as well as the biopolitical implications derived from this analysis. The conclusion drawn is that there is a transition from the concept of wealth from liberalism to neoliberalism, transforming this concept into surplus, and that neoliberal states do not produce precarity but rather manage and exacerbate it in order to exert government control based on biopolitics.
