From bestselling writer David Graeber, a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs, and their consequences.
Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After a million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer.
There are millions of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs.
Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation.

格雷博无政府主义、反资本主义的大旗一向抗得很稳,语言风格和本人一样俏皮。即使是看书,也和他穿着西装皮鞋盘着腿窝在旋转椅上边讲话边喝咖啡边摸鼻子一样可爱。从书本身来说,核心观点在开头和结尾说得很清楚了,中间大篇幅均是论证。从严谨性上来说,这本书的数据来源是有问题的(他自己也意识到了),但毕竟是作为大众读物,不是学术书。但是,“狗屁工作”这四个字就足够了。

虽然作者强调重点不在提意见,但最后一章的universal basic income 才是消除资本家剥削劳动力和减少狗屁工作的关键啊!给予各阶层同等权利(ie, 钱)去选择自己的职业(ie有辞职的底气)。

他需要感谢twitter吗。很中产白领问题。说到大学的部分让我立马开始反思。进入这个世纪以来,已经没有人再去想如何建立新社会制度了,明明各种问题依旧很多。惯性可怕。
