Hey everyone,

David Graeber, the late and brilliant Yale anthropologist who helped influence the Occupy Movement, published a book in 2018 called Bullshit Jobs. I want to bring this book to your attention.

Although I have only just started, this book has already equipped me with ideas and vocabulary about our current work culture that I had felt before but had failed to conceptually manifest. I believe this book can be a valuable addition to anti-work's marketplace of ideas and extend the arc of our vision.

I hope the moderators do not consider this a “low effort” post; for what this post may lack in content to create a constructive dialogue, I believe, it makes up for in earnestness. In the beginning, he points our how easily attainable a 15-hour work week could have been had it not been for our odd dynamics towards labor ethics in addition to corporate greed. It's a great work.
