From 10 January 1979 to 4 April 1979 Michel Foucault delivered his annual public lecture at the College De France, Paris titled: 'The Birth of Biopolitics' which did not deal with Biopolitics and its Birth. Foucault in this 1979 public lecture delivered a deconstruction of the North Atlantic discourse of liberalism/neo-liberalism. Foucault's deconstruction presented the key, basic, strategic concepts of the discourse and its discursive agents thereby revealing the worldview of the discourse, its strategic agenda and its concepts of governmentality to realise its hegemony over the social order. This work is a deconstruction of Foucault's discourse of liberalism/neo-liberalism towards articulating: the order of power of North Atlantic neo-liberalism in the 21st Century since the financial meltdown of 2008 and articulating the order of power of the colonial/neo-colonial order of power of the English speaking Caribbean in the 21st Century. The salient reality that has emerged from this exercise is the replication of the colonial/neo-colonial order of power in the North Atlantic under the hegemony of neo-liberal discourse especially since the financial meltdown of 2008 to 2021. A North Atlantic neo-colonial order of power on steroids.
