Their infrastructure, services and employees add up to a form of public capital, upon which the vast majority of society is dependent. The book describes the ongoing attempts to financialise and commodify this public capital and examines how this occurs in the areas of health, education and pensions.

First, showing how this plays out in the thinking of Deleuze, Derrida and Foucault, Rae subsequently...
