Abstract
This text aims at analyzing the mechanisms and operationalization of the welfare state in its production of a certain kind of "citizen servility" by the capitalization of the most daily and global interstices in the individuals´ lives in the capitalist society. It also shows the way neoliberalism ultimately obliterates such a proposal when, as a veridiction regime for the management of social security, it assumes the market is a defining entity of the social policy intervention field and the linking between work ethic and poverty in the access to social rights.
