David Graeber
Bullshit Jobs
A Theory
Simon & Schuster, 2018
Was ist drin?
Meaningless work harms your health and cheats you out of a fuller, freer life.
Recommendation
David Graeber’s bestseller stems from a popular, brave and subversive article he wrote in 2013. He acknowledges in the final sentences of the book that he is presenting his controversial argument to provoke thought, not to propose solutions. The first four chapters offer amusing anecdotes about stupid jobs, but the most thought-provoking material appears in chapters five through seven. Graeber’s insights may make you consider whether politicians, the wealthy – and even you – collude to keep yourself and many other employees trapped in a life of limited freedom dominated by the frustrations of meaningless work. While always politically neutral, getAbstract suggests Graeber’s treatise to those who question the basic elements of life and work that most folks take for granted. (Warning, as you might surmise, expect some profanity.)
