The book by the renowned anthropologist David Graeber explores the phenomenon of “bullshit jobs”—meaningless labor activities that bring no real benefit to society. The author analyzes the reasons for the proliferation of such positions in the modern economy, the psychological consequences for people forced to engage in useless labor, and offers a critical perspective on the existing employment system. The second edition of the book continues to develop ideas about how the capitalist system creates and maintains jobs devoid of meaning.
