This paper presents elements of a false dichotomy between state-controlled capitalism and neoliberalism. After hollowing up the origin of philosophical and sociological notions coined by the so called first generation of Critical Theory, it tries to clarify the touch point between these two historical moments of capitalism by insisting on the prevalence and complementarity of a conceptual pair, which comes from Max Horkheimer e Theodor W. Adorno: the racket theory (Racket-Theorie) and the administered world (verwaltete Welt). The text supports that the most visible relations of production in each concept – the racket’s seemingly dynamical character and the administered world’s totalitarian rationality – have been already shaped with views on a conceptual complementarity that, at the end, anticipates capital’s most recent transformations, just as the occasional turn of capitalist societies to fascism. After this, the paper proposes a reflection about the Brazilian condition nowadays, in the threshold of a conversion from capitalism to fascismo, from the rule of law to anomia. Put another way, the Brazilian political moment would highlight the divergences and complementarity between racket and administered world and emphasizes the actuality of these concepts regarding the irrational elements, which are mobilized by power and domination bodies over the subjects.
