Productdetails
- 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.

Original Penguin All Books Editorial Review
The book "Bullshit Jobs: A Theory" by David Graeber seems to have garnered a mixed reception from readers. One review labels it as "really interesting" and acknowledges the author's ability to deliver on the points he touches upon without underdeveloped areas. The reviewer appreciates Graeber's approach where he presents ideas but allows readers the freedom to form their own opinions. On the other hand, another reviewer finds the book to be only "mildly interesting" and suggests skimming through it. The critique points out that the author's claims are deemed to be exaggerated, and he appears to be excessively defensive about his political leanings. Overall, the feedback suggests that the book has merits in terms of its exploration of the concept of "bullshit jobs" and the presentation of ideas, but it also appears to have shortcomings in its breadth of evidence and perhaps the author's personal biases seeping through.
