Bullshit jobs: a theory

Back In 1930, The Economist John Maynard Keynes Prophesied That By The Century's End, Technology Would See Us All Working Fifteen-hour Weeks. But Instead, Something Curious Happened. Today, Average Working Hours Have Not Decreased, But Increased. And Now, Across The Developed World, Three-quarters Of All Jobs Are In Services Or Admin, Jobs That Don't Seem To Add Anything To Society: Bullshit Jobs. In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber Explores How This Phenomenon - One More Associated With The 20th-century Soviet Union, But Which Capitalism Was Supposed To Eliminate - Has Happened. In Doing So, He Looks At How We Value Work, And How, Rather Than Being Productive, Work Has Become An End In Itself; The Way Such Work Maintains The Current Broken System Of Finance Capital; And, Finally, How We Can Get Out Of It.
