This paper considers the foundations of a possible Michel Foucault critique of neoliberalism and its relationship to education.We will attempt to demonstrate how neoliberalism, in Foucault's thought, should be understood as a way of life and as a government practice responsible for the production of modes of subjectivation identified with self-entrepreneurship as the aesthetics of neoliberal existence based on a bibliographic survey that covers the works developed by Foucault from a political history of governmentality.At first, we go through the contours of Foucault's thinking around a genealogy of the arts of government and the processes of subjectification. The second moment is dedicated to trying to understand the effects by which neoliberalism is constituted as an ethos responsible for producing the experience of a capitalized and financialized education. Our final considerations are dedicated to the elaboration of a critique of the neoliberal governmentality regime based on the contributions made by Michel Foucault and your criticism.

Keywords : Michel Foucault; neoliberalism; education.
