This article seek to show how science, politics, and psychoanalysis are bound together as discourses; it does so by describing the principal moments of a process that could account for the logic at work in today’s world. It shows how the discourse of analysis emerges “in reality” precisely in response to those aspects of subjectivization that are rejected by the discourses of science and capitalism, while simultaneously making them available to these discourses. The author opens up the question of what the future of psychoanalysis may be, a future that, in our neoliberal context, will depend on its ability to dissociate the object, cause of desire, from the object of the market, or, in other terms, surplus pleasure from surplus value. This with the aim of restoring or maintaining the function of the cause of desire and returning responsibility to the subject for its position.
