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".

可能在资本回报率高的系统里knowing important people这种文化资本比生产能力更重要?

从作者人类学的视角,我们的工作都可以归为他总结的flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers, and taskmasters,bullshit jobs, 但青年马克思那个对劳动的变异反而更启发人。当下教育的问题是把工作跟赚钱划等号了,其实人对劳动有本能的需求,人需要通过劳动来创造,产出更丰富的生命意义。变异后的works,成了jobs,一条通往奴役之路。跳... 从作者人类学的视角,我们的工作都可以归为他总结的flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers, and taskmasters,bullshit jobs, 但青年马克思那个对劳动的变异反而更启发人。当下教育的问题是把工作跟赚钱划等号了,其实人对劳动有本能的需求,人需要通过劳动来创造,产出更丰富的生命意义。变异后的works,成了jobs,一条通往奴役之路。跳着读的,最后两章没看,对我们普通人来说,积极心理学那个视角能解决这个问题。读此书启发最大是古人类男耕女织的工作分配,已经慢慢把bullshit jobs分给女性,更体现创造力的工作由男性掌握,当下男女职场结构的开端。要是作者体会过简中世界的公务员体系的运转后,大概会对人类更失望吧。 (展开)

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?

身为人类学家的作者的这个想法很有趣,时不时毒舌腹黑一下,也能给人一点对自身和现代社会的思考,还真的是一个段子就能说明的事硬是被写成了一本书可见多啰嗦。🤭

用Libby聽到82%棄,並非不喜歡,只是到後面聽不下去了,最後兩章講歷史背景和理論的真的還是應該看文本,而且這個男聲聽到後面有點煩。前面因為大多是testimonies,人聲唸出來很合適,聽的時候不停在心裏點頭「對啊這不就是我嗎!這也是我!」讀這本書起初也只是為了給自己找個支持,畢竟在那麼多相似主題卻不痛不癢的書中,這本真的是股清流。人類學家寫的書就是喜歡,只是下次不聽了⋯⋯ 另外,作者走得太早... 用Libby聽到82%棄,並非不喜歡,只是到後面聽不下去了,最後兩章講歷史背景和理論的真的還是應該看文本,而且這個男聲聽到後面有點煩。前面因為大多是testimonies,人聲唸出來很合適,聽的時候不停在心裏點頭「對啊這不就是我嗎!這也是我!」讀這本書起初也只是為了給自己找個支持,畢竟在那麼多相似主題卻不痛不癢的書中,這本真的是股清流。人類學家寫的書就是喜歡,只是下次不聽了⋯⋯ 另外,作者走得太早了,遺憾。 (展开)
