Finance work remains embodied and excludes workers marked by gender, race, or disability

Evidence

While it might be tempting to imagine that these immaterial workers transcend the body itself, such an approach would be misleading: not only do the pace and form of work take their toll on the body, but those whose bodies are marked by gender, race or ability find it challenging to persist and succeed in an informal macho corporate culture based in many ways on whom you know and what you do in your precious “down time” (Czarniawska 2005; Ho 2009, 116–120; La Berge 2010; Zaloom 2006, 111–125). — Max Haiven, Cultures of Financialization, 187
