Bullshit Jobs

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.
