RE: [microsound] liberalism/power/control

[Andrei <andrei@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate the recommendations so far, but I think I need to be a bit
more specific: I'm not interested in Marxist or Socialist writings.
I guess I'm being vague, but by liberal I don't mean extreme leftism.
I'm referring more to a sort of moral liberalism (within the context of
democracy !?).

I saw a Foucault book called "Power/Knowledge : Selected Interviews and
Other Writings, 1972-1977". Anything to say about this one ?
