Summary

Description

What if the modern economy is full of jobs that everyone secretly knows are meaningless—but no one is allowed to admit it? In this incendiary and darkly funny essay, anthropologist David Graeber takes a flamethrower to the world of pointless bureaucracy, soul-crushing middle management, and the quiet misery of workers paid to pretend.
Bullshit Jobs is part polemic, part social theory, and part cathartic scream—a razor-sharp diagnosis of a system that rewards appearance over substance, and a call to imagine something radically better.

About the Author

David Graeber (1961–2020) was an American anthropologist, activist, and public intellectual whose work bridged academic theory and radical politics with rare clarity and wit. A key figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement and a fierce critic of managerialism and neoliberalism, Graeber was one of the most original and provocative thinkers of the 21st century.
