Abstract
The objective of this analysis is to theorize and reflect from the tool of critical thinking on the concept of poverty in Mexico and how it is combined with a political control before a surveilled society, this, from the perspective of the French philosopher Michael Foucault, as well as the transformation of the system over the years and the governmental six-year periods in our country in a stated way. In addition, this conceptualization is related to the work of the social sciences in the current context from a perspective that analyzes the mechanisms of surveillance and mass control, — Ortega and Gasset, and Gramsci would be consistent with this control — with purposes that favor the financial system that governs the country's economy
