Summary/Abstract: The paper offers a discussion of two cases of working to death, the famous 19th century case of Mary Anne Walkley, and the recent death of a global bank intern, Moritz Erhard. The point of the paper is that competition is an assemblage rather than a natural phenomenon, and that the invention of human capital transformed the competition between workers into a competition between entrepreneurs dominated by security strategies and not by disciplinary technologies as in the times of Mary Anne Walkley.
