Without a
doubt, the practical establishment of this world of struggle would
not succeed so completely without the complicity of all of the
precarious arrangements that produce insecurity and of the
existence of a reserve army of employees rendered docile by
these social processes that make their situations precarious,
as well as by the permanent threat of unemployment. This
reserve army exists at all levels of the hierarchy, even at the
higher levels, especially among managers. The ultimate foundation
of this entire economic order placed under the sign of freedom is
in effect the structural violence of unemployment, of the
insecurity of job tenure and the menace of layoff that it implies.
The condition of the "harmonious" functioning of the individualist
micro-economic model is a mass phenomenon, the existence of a
reserve army of the unemployed.
