| 总结: | Governmentability can be understood as the creation of institutions, strategies and legal and political instruments through which power is exercised. The objective of this article is to reveal aspects of capital accumulation and social control based on the construction of social housing in the outskirts of Mexico City. The implementation of a credit system granted by the national housing agencies for the purchase of homes, the generation of the yearning for access to home ownership, are mechanisms that have had an impact on the reproduction and accumulation of capital, while the generation of debt and the confinement of sectors of low-income population in the urban periphery, are part of a mechanism of control of society. Based on a review of the concept of governability and through the use of data on credits granted by public institutions and financial entities, a discussion on housing policies is proposed as mechanism that served to accumulate capital and social control. |
