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.

想象一下,你接了一项工作,为一个大型公司会议写一份两页的报告,你拿到了1.2万英镑的报酬,结果那次会议根本没有讨论这份报告。或者,你需要租辆车开上500公里,负责监督一个人的电脑被从一个房间挪到5米外的另一个房间。或者在一家出版公司当前台,电话每天响一次,此外你只... (展开)论坛 · · · · · ·

good point to find out and crate such concept, 但是太啰嗦了看了一半看不下去,前几章已经可以说明观点了

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。

前半本非常有趣,指出狗屁工作的类型和产生这类工作的结构性问题,后半本开始写论文。人类学家也许是一群有趣的人,但是人类学研究写到纸面上实在是令人犯困。
