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.
##This should be written into a 2 minute joke in a stand-up show in stead of a fucking book
评分##对马克思的传统劳动理论提出了精彩而颇有见地的质疑。虽然在最后提出的普遍工资明显不能解决有关社会意义的创造问题(相反,此解决方案将创造社会意义的责任归还给了个人),但对于作为人类学家的格雷伯来说,将社会现象问题化远比提出某种一劳永逸的解决方案重要得多——任何方案或政策,也许就像他承认的,都会将注意力转移至无意义的立场争辩中。 书中虽然有大量采访实录,却隽语层出不穷。但永远值得思考的一点是——当马克思提出劳动价值理论时,价值的定义与实质是单一的,而格雷伯提醒我们:在现代社会,资本价值、社会价值、个人价值则必须互相分离,成立各自的问题域,而非被单一的、马克思上的价值所统摄。关键在于,当代社会是人性与资本的斗争史——我们总是要在两者之间求个输赢,但其实,这两者间的永恒张力才是我们的生存之本。
评分##狗屁工作的滋生蔓延固然和金融资本大,跃、进有关,工作被道德性和政;治性所统摄。有一点必须要强调的是,狗屁工作以一种隐蔽的方式把人们放回到从属关系中,同时重新赋予权/;力。比如大学里的许多行政人员,不正是拿着鸡毛当令箭地对老师和学生吆五喝六各种刁难。固然现在人们“解/,放”了,不用给人当奴、:才了,但人们又成了资本和工作的nu ,隶,可怕的是很多时候你都不知道要推-,翻谁。
评分看评分,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。
评分##噱头大于内容,完全不用写一本书。
评分##给bs jobs分类是噱头 后面就是一些anarchist看法了 总结下来就是 老子不服 也不讲怎么才算行 反正这个现状我不服
