Micro-power. Power Structure And Human Capital

Is it an unitary goal of economy for investment of human capital? The study starts from a self-question of this. There is a quite strong intuition to support about that could have some other explanations for investment of human capital hiding in somewhere. What about the power? The differentiation of power between or among people causes some strong feelings when people encounter in a compare to the power of them. This kind of feelings cannot just be erasered or being implied into a pure motivation of economy to explain. This could be an answer to enlarge a view to see how people invest in themselves. From this point of view to see investment of human capital, people would not call it as a human capital investment, it would rather be called "body-empower". However, what it be called is not that important, the importance lies in that could I really find a link between investment in people and empower in body? Finally, the study came into a point that we have get both investment of human capital and "body-empower" in an unify which they share the same research object and the same research intention in human body. That would be meaningful to the research to reach this point.Michel Foufault(a philosopher and socialist in France) argued that is power repressive? He pointed out that a new form of power which called micro-power was developed. it is a technology which appeared from 17-18 century to manage individuals and population. The one for individuals was named further as disciplinary power, which is about training the action of body to strengthen functions and efficiencies of the body, the other for population was named as bio-power, which is about managing the births, deaths, reproduction and illnesses of a population. Therefore, the new forms of power is not a repressive power, it is the power to focus on the productivity of human body. Disciplinary power and bio-power circled body and take body as a point which the power intervene of body. Foucault concluded that the modern society is a disciplinary society, discipline turned all places such as schools, prisons, hospital, army barracks and even families into a disciplinary institution. The power built the modern society as well as modern humans at the same time by discipline their body.The purpose of investment of human capital is to reach a better income level in the future. The way of investment is to intervene body to get it more useful and more efficient as well. So the investment of human capital and micro-power was unified in human body, accordingly, the study have reached a point to unveil the question which is asked by myself at the very beginning.The original goal of micro-power is to built up productivity of the society, however, it is not stopped on this, after it share the same track of human body with human capital. They get off the track differently. It is off from the trace to the criterion of modern people.Modernity is a concept came up from the western society after religious revolution and the time during the age of enlightenment. After that, human beings get away from God's world and take the rationalism as a foundation to set all laws for themselves, and bio-power is the production of rationalism. Micro-power set the criterions for how to produce the modern people and popularize it in the whole society, which create a population of collectivity and they camp up with regular and orderly abilities. This is the way how modern people were created. Whereas, this also brings people a fundamental and regular capabilities to practice ideals such as freedom, democracy in the whole society.Investment of human capital is not only the purpose of economy, but also the purpose of power. Both Investment of human capital and micro-power together have finished the creation of modern people in the way of economy and the way of modern power.
