. Desire - an old term that had its presence and its application in the conscience guide [...], the desire now has a second appearance in the interior of power and techniques of government. All individuals act on the basis of desire. One of desire, against which one can do anything. [...] not try to change it, the leaves are changing, but not -. and at this point that characterizes Natura quality of desire of the population and is permeable to the governmental technology - this desire is to return for reasons to be and are one of the major theoretical elements to the whole system, this desire is such that, when it leaves the possibility of the development, within certain limits and thanks to a certain number of references and links as a whole, the general benefit to the population produces. [...] The production of the collective interest by the play of desire. This also marks the Natura quality of the population and the possible artificiality of the funds to a are given to manage them.

"[...] the old ethical juridical conception of the government and the exercise of sovereignty is completely contrary. [...] The Sovereign one who is capable to say no to the desire of every individual, the problem is to know how this is the desire of individuals opposed 'no' legitimate and on the will of the individuals themselves can be established. [...] The problem of those who govern, it must be absolutely not to know how to say no, how far can they say no, with what justification they can say no. The problem is to know how to say yes to this desire. So do not limit the concupiscence or the limitation of self-love within the meaning of love must of itself, but rather all that, this self-love, this desire in such a stimulating and encouraging that they produce in fact the beneficial effects that they produce necessarily. "
" There is no set of juridical entities, either individually or collectively, with a sovereign will. The population is a combination of elements, inside which one can find constants and regularities to the events inside, inside of which you can locate the universality of the desire which regularly brings all the benefits and for which one can identify a number of variables on which it depends and which are likely to modify it "
