      abstract = {Abstract: This paper seeks to elaborate on the  interconnection between structural racism and the free  market system – both in how it is theorized and how it  functions in reality. The argument advanced is that the  market system is constituted by a contradiction that  operationalizes it and generates surplus value through the  absorption of racial stratification by economic value. This  contradiction consists of racial subordination alongside  the perception of an equal and neutral market. While the  contradiction of subordination and equality extends broadly  throughout Western thought and institutions, it takes on a  special function within the institution of the market  system, actualizing the realization of profit. After an  examination of this process, the paper turns to a study of  Friedrich Hayek’s theorization on markets to demonstrate  that the racial structure of the market can be gleaned  directly from his work.},
