From bestselling writer David Graeber, a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs, 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 “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After a million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer.
There are millions of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs.
Graeber explores one of society’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. 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.
##给bs jobs分类是噱头 后面就是一些anarchist看法了 总结下来就是 老子不服 也不讲怎么才算行 反正这个现状我不服
评分##This should be written into a 2 minute joke in a stand-up show in stead of a fucking book
评分看评分,这大概是左派人类学著作被当成popular psychology快餐书推销给了商科学生吧。
评分##对“无价值工作”的界定有一些待商榷的地方,但只说作者发现并指出这一现象,又将其归结为“资本主义在异化和控制人”的观点,还是很有价值的。可惜的是,这些观点本身没有足够强有力的分析或论据作为支持。另外我个人觉得,缺乏对“财富分配模式如何形成”的讨论和批判,也使得整本书的论证框架有些破碎。适合拿来打发打发时间(摊手
评分##噱头大于内容,完全不用写一本书。
评分##从作者人类学的视角,我们的工作都可以归为他总结的flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers, and taskmasters,bullshit jobs, 但青年马克思那个对劳动的变异反而更启发人。当下教育的问题是把工作跟赚钱划等号了,其实人对劳动有本能的需求,人需要通过劳动来创造,产出更丰富的生命意义。变异后的works,成了jobs,一条通往奴役之路。跳着读的,最后两章没看,对我们普通人来说,积极心理学那个视角能解决这个问题。读此书启发最大是古人类男耕女织的工作分配,已经慢慢把bullshit jobs分给女性,更体现创造力的工作由男性掌握,当下男女职场结构的开端。要是作者体会过简中世界的公务员体系的运转后,大概会对人类更失望吧。
评分##噱头大于内容,完全不用写一本书。
评分##这种书真的水分太多了,就像短评说的,一篇文章能搞定的事硬生生注水成一本书,还是三百多页的书。耶鲁和LSE的教授就这个水平吗?
