Legitimating juridical and social practices of the liberal economic model of appropriation

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze how global power structures’ social and juridical practices employed by the capitalist model legitimize an appropriation of production. In this instance, this reaserch focus on The origin of the family, private property and the State, by Engels, articulating it with texts that actualizes the problem: The birth of biopolitics, by Foucault, Circuito dos Afetos, by Safatle, and The new way of the world, by Dardot and Laval. This research examines a social class that, without producing, appropriates the production and, as the same time, subdues the producer economically and politically. At the end, we present some of the consequences of the establishment, creation and legitimization of the division of social classes, as an attempt to "legalize" an economic exploitation of others, naturalizing a social body, and, mainly, as social practices (state, discursive, moral and legal) of subjectivity employed in this process which results in the creation of neoliberalism.
