Michel Foucault on Productivity
[In the disciplinary society] One must seek to intensify the use of the slightest moment, as if time, in its very fragmentation, were inexhaustible or as if, at least by an ever more detailed arrangement, one could tend towards an ideal point at which one maintained maximum speed and maximum efficiency.
Michel Foucault, "Discipline and Punish: The Birth of Prison" (1975)
