A Theory
Book •
In 'Bullshit Jobs,' David Graeber argues that a significant portion of modern jobs are pointless, unnecessary, and psychologically damaging to those who perform them.
Graeber explores how these jobs, often in administrative or managerial roles, contribute to a sense of meaninglessness and alienation among workers.
He examines the societal and economic factors that have led to the proliferation of such jobs, suggesting that they persist due to a combination of political and economic forces.
The book critiques the moral and spiritual damage inflicted by these jobs, advocating for a reevaluation of work and its purpose in contemporary society.
Graeber challenges the conventional understanding of productivity and proposes alternative ways to organize labor.
