David Rolfe Graeber (/ˈɡreɪbər/; born 12 February 1961) is a London-based anthropologist and anarchist activist, perhaps best known for his 2011 volume Debt: The First 5000 Years. He is Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics.
As an assistant professor and associate professor of anthropology at Yale from 1998–2007 he specialised in theories of value and social theory. The university's decision not to rehire him when he would otherwise have become eligible for tenure sparked an academic controversy, and a petition with more than 4,500 signatures. He went on to become, from 2007–13, Reader in Social Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London.
His activism includes protests against the 3rd Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in 2001, and the 2002 World Economic Forum in New York City. Graeber was a leading figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement, and is sometimes credited with having coined the slogan, "We are the 99 percent".
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.
如何确认自己从事的是 bullshit job 呢,就是把一本叫 Bullshit Jobs: A Theory 的书看完了——2018年出版,作者是伦敦政治经济学院人类学教授、美国人 David Graeber——感觉读了一份自己的体检报告。 这本书源自 Graeber 在 2013 年为 Strike! 杂志写的一篇题为 On the Pheno...
评分 评分 评分“做不下去了!” 这是我经常干到半夜以后,或者收到客户或者合伙人一遍又一遍修改要求时内心的咆哮。 “到底有什么意义?!” 愤怒之后是质疑,质疑自己工作的意义。 “根本就没有任何意义,对社会没有任何贡献,与我的价值观严重相悖!” 质疑之后是否定,我在做一份没有意义...

文风偏学术文笔滞涩导致阅读体验不佳(随便就能看到长达五六行的句子),最生动流畅的部分是essay读者关于BS Jobs的自述,作者最后只花了总篇幅十分之一的笔墨提及universal basic income作为一种化解方法的可能性,且举例是印度,我…难以信服。冗长且未能解答难题,或许看essay版就好了。

评分两章弃,读之前应该查下豆瓣评分,cynical 的闲聊硬生生撑出一本书,bullshit 本shit 了。
评分读完此书的慰藉就是:原来我不是一个人。看来BJ也是房间中的大象啊。
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。
