Week 8, Monday

Today in class I thought about Foucault and his ideas on how power is not tied to the ruling class and financial status such as a Marxist view and how he tied it into knowledge. I think that the larger question is that if power is not dependent on the financial, capitalism, money aspects, then what is it dependent on? Perhaps, education is tied into the knowledge aspect of Foucault's ideas on power? Maybe those who have knowledge also are the ones that have the means to pursue higher education. Perhaps the educated would be the more likely party who in fact controls the power?
