摘要：

In this essay, I argue, first, that modern biopolitics is marked less by the entry of biological life into the polis than by a new consideration of the form of life proper to humans, one defined by risk management. Second, in this regard, economics-and neoliberalism specifically-can be read as an attempt to provide an answer to what form of life is proper to humans. Third, I illustrate this with reference to the test for the BRCA (breast cancer) genetic mutation and the forms of agency it encourages.
