book-informationBullshit Jobs: A Theory (5)AuthorDavid GraeberGenreEconomics, Social Theory, Cultural Anthropology, Political PhilosophySynopsisAnthropologist David Graeber presents a provocative theory about the proliferation of meaningless work in modern economies, arguing that a significant portion of jobs serve no real purpose and leave workers feeling unfulfilled. Drawing on testimonies from workers across industries, Graeber explores why these 'bullshit jobs' exist, how they harm society, and what their prevalence reveals about contemporary capitalism. This groundbreaking work challenges fundamental assumptions about labor, productivity, and the organization of work in the 21st century.
