3 A problem in Foucault's notion of governmentality is that it claims to unmask the forms of power hidden in liberal state practices. However, these had barely penetrated popular culture, values and practices before 1914 and, when state practices did do this extensively, they took often overtly illiberal and explicit forms of unfreedom.
