In this article, I argue that the economization of social differences in the workplace is a political practice. I examine how, after the dismantling of corporate bureaucracies and affirmative action policies, diversity professionals create economic justifications for practices they regard as creating racial equity. Insofar as they do this to conveniently create markets for their expertise, diversity professionals work with, through, and around neoliberal logics, principles, and norms of the for-profit firm. In asking why their strategies “work” in the era of the socially dispersed corporate form, I reflect on what it means for an American society to place more social value on the pursuit of profit than on racial justice.

通过经济化创造多样性市场：新自由主义组织中差异的政治和经济学

在本文中，我认为工作场所社会差异的经济化是一种政治实践。我研究了在公司官僚机构和平权行动政策被解散后，多元化专业人士如何为他们认为创造种族平等的做法创造经济理由。就他们这样做是为了方便地为他们的专业知识创造市场而言，多元化专业人士通过并围绕营利性公司的新自由主义逻辑、原则和规范开展工作。在询问为什么他们的策略在社会分散的公司形式时代“有效”时，我反思了美国社会将更多的社会价值放在追求利润而不是种族正义上意味着什么。
