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.
