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.

David Rolfe Graeber (/ˈɡreɪbər/; born 12 February 1961) is a London-based anthropologist and anarchist activist, perhaps best known for his 2011 volume Debt: The First 5000 Years. He is Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics.
As an assistant professor and associate professor of anthropology at Yale from 1998–2007 he specialised in theories of value and social theory. The university's decision not to rehire him when he would otherwise have become eligible for tenure sparked an academic controversy, and a petition with more than 4,500 signatures. He went on to become, from 2007–13, Reader in Social Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London.
His activism includes protests against the 3rd Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in 2001, and the 2002 World Economic Forum in New York City. Graeber was a leading figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement, and is sometimes credited with having coined the slogan, "We are the 99 percent".

这本书能火的原因,大概在于,作者抓住了大多数人都不喜欢自己工作的心理,为大家找到了一个情绪宣泄的出口;然而难以忽略的是,这本书无论是对现象的观察,原因的陈述,还是解决方案的倡议,都站不住脚。书中唯一的一个有意思的地方,自己之前也观察到却难以解释的:越是对社会有贡献的工作,比如护士、老师、清洁工、消防员等工资越低,而那些对社会没有太大贡献,甚至带来伤害的工作,比如银行家、营销人员、说客等等,工资反而... 这本书能火的原因,大概在于,作者抓住了大多数人都不喜欢自己工作的心理,为大家找到了一个情绪宣泄的出口;然而难以忽略的是,这本书无论是对现象的观察,原因的陈述,还是解决方案的倡议,都站不住脚。书中唯一的一个有意思的地方,自己之前也观察到却难以解释的:越是对社会有贡献的工作,比如护士、老师、清洁工、消防员等工资越低,而那些对社会没有太大贡献,甚至带来伤害的工作,比如银行家、营销人员、说客等等,工资反而高。 (展开)

看评分,这大概是左派人类学著作被当成popular psychology快餐书推销给了商科学生吧。

这种书真的水分太多了,就像短评说的,一篇文章能搞定的事硬生生注水成一本书,还是三百多页的书。耶鲁和LSE的教授就这个水平吗?

对“无价值工作”的界定有一些待商榷的地方,但只说作者发现并指出这一现象,又将其归结为“资本主义在异化和控制人”的观点,还是很有价值的。可惜的是,这些观点本身没有足够强有力的分析或论据作为支持。另外我个人觉得,缺乏对“财富分配模式如何形成”的讨论和批判,也使得整本书的论证框架有些破碎。适合拿来打发打发时间(摊手

笑死我读的版本最后一章就在讲我就说说你们不要一看就觉得这本再讲basic income. 这是本(不怎么严肃的)人类学书籍啊!虽然之前看了简介觉得概念很直接没啥好讲的,但理解了一下逻辑之后,结合最近在看游戏为啥像上班的内容,觉得非常有意思脑洞打开
