There are two ways to think about the neoliberal figure of the human whose self-care and self-investment cannot be obtained within its own terms, that is, who is dependent upon invisible practices and unnamed others. One is that neoliberalism makes a mistake, that homo oeconomicus is both more multidimensional and more dependent upon human noncapital entities (that is, women) than this ontology suggests. There is some bite to this critique, but it is not a radical bite.
