Bullshit Jobs: A Theory

From bestselling writer David Graeberâ€”â€œa master of opening up thought and stimulating debateâ€ (Slate)â€”a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobsâ€¦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 â€œOn the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.â€ It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer.

There are hordes of peopleâ€”HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyersâ€”whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs.

Graeber explores one of societyâ€™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. â€œClever and charismaticâ€ (The New Yorker), 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 and â€œa thought-provoking examination of our working livesâ€ (Financial Times).
