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".

在《狗屁工作(Bullshit Jobs)》一书中,伦敦经济学院的人类学家 David Graeber研究发现社会中毫无意义、甚至是有害的工作占了所有工作的一半以上,这种狗屁工作到处都是,还在不断膨胀。书中引用了数据分析公司YouGov在2015年对英国人进行了调查,询问他们是否认为自己的工作...
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...
评分 评分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...

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.
不好读,啃了好久。诶我懂作者你是个无政府主义者,但是批判这批判那之后最后来个universal basic income 还真是毫无新意……如果全民温饱就能让大家活得更有意义更快乐,那为什么还有那么多不愁温饱却苦大仇深的人?#欲海无边回头是岸不如还是过佛系生活吧
评分这本书有两个问题:一是本来有意思的题材竟然写得很无趣,二是篇幅长到让人无法忍受(大约一个blog post就足够了),好像作者现身说法给读者看看写这本书对他来说就是一个bullshit job. 匆匆翻完,不推荐。
评分这本书能火的原因,大概在于,作者抓住了大多数人都不喜欢自己工作的心理,为大家找到了一个情绪宣泄的出口;然而难以忽略的是,这本书无论是对现象的观察,原因的陈述,还是解决方案的倡议,都站不住脚。书中唯一的一个有意思的地方,自己之前也观察到却难以解释的:越是对社会有贡献的工作,比如护士、老师、清洁工、消防员等工资越低,而那些对社会没有太大贡献,甚至带来伤害的工作,比如银行家、营销人员、说客等等,工资反而高。
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。
评分读了序言和第一章开头,弃(´-ι_-`)
