The reproduction of inequalities is a necessary product of neoliberal economic systems. Meanwhile, attempts to ameliorate this within social design actually perpetuate this situation. This, we argue, is partly due to the institutional configuration of design whose precarious professional norms mitigate against long-term consolidation. Relatedly, this struggle for recognition produces a kind of performativity of social design that draws the focus of practice away from the problems it seeks to address.

保持系统运转：新自由主义时代的社会设计和不平等的再生产

不平等的再生产是新自由主义经济体系的必要产物。同时，试图在社会设计中改善这一点实际上使这种情况永久化。我们认为，这部分是由于设计的制度配置，其不稳定的专业规范减轻了长期整合的影响。相关地，这种争取认可的斗争产生了一种社会设计的表现性，将实践的重点从它试图解决的问题上移开。
