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.
##作者这本书in itself 生动诠释了什么叫bullshit job. 建议改行搬砖。
评分##噱头大于内容,完全不用写一本书。
评分##David Graeber把我说不出的痛苦写了出来。但论文的长度够了,写成书有点拖沓。
评分##我重点看了一章对bullshit job的分类,发现自己落入了taskmaster
评分##人类社会还真是围城。世界上有六分之一的人吃不饱,还有人为了自己的(高薪)工作没有意义而烦恼。
评分##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。

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。
