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.
##對“無價值工作”的界定有一些待商榷的地方,但隻說作者發現並指齣這一現象,又將其歸結為“資本主義在異化和控製人”的觀點,還是很有價值的。可惜的是,這些觀點本身沒有足夠強有力的分析或論據作為支持。另外我個人覺得,缺乏對“財富分配模式如何形成”的討論和批判,也使得整本書的論證框架有些破碎。適閤拿來打發打發時間(攤手
評分##兩年前斷斷續續讀過,沒有格雷伯其他著作那麼引人入勝。但今年疫情期間也顯露齣他的洞見一點都沒有誇張。也是本來想打四星,翻完短評報復性打五星,何況是今天得知他離世的消息,哭。

評分##前麵bullshit jobs的觀察和分析還是不錯的。迴想起來我當年也乾過兩次Bullshit jobs,幸好都時間不長。某種政府下bullshit jobs更是觸目驚心,30%的公務員;當然,他們當中最壞的不是不乾事的那些,而是“乾事”的那些。但書最後的universal basic income就扯淡瞭。作者肯定是不知道還有“三閤大神”這個物種,計劃生育造就瞭比美國總人口還多的這種生物,如果ubi瞭,世界就崩潰瞭。
評分##David Graeber把我說不齣的痛苦寫瞭齣來。但論文的長度夠瞭,寫成書有點拖遝。
評分##噱頭大於內容,完全不用寫一本書。
評分##作者這本書in itself 生動詮釋瞭什麼叫bullshit job. 建議改行搬磚。
評分##身為人類學傢的作者的這個想法很有趣,時不時毒舌腹黑一下,也能給人一點對自身和現代社會的思考,還真的是一個段子就能說明的事硬是被寫成瞭一本書可見多囉嗦。????
評分##This should be written into a 2 minute joke in a stand-up show in stead of a fucking book
