Second-hand book "Meaningless Work" [90% new]

Introduction · · · · · ·
Keynes predicted in the 1930s that by the end of the 20th century, technology would be advanced enough to shorten people's working hours to 15 hours a week. But today, people spend more time at work. Does your work contribute to the world? In 2013, David Graeber raised this sharp question in his article "Talking about the "Bullshit Job" Phenomenon", which received more than a million reads and clicks in a few weeks and was translated into more than a dozen languages. Until now, it is still an issue of deep concern. Who is creating these meaningless jobs? How does it reduce efficiency, hinder the realization of personal value, and aggravate inequality? In this book, the author presents his observations, research and reflections in a sharp style, and analyzes the contemporary social problems that plague the world.

Liang Yongan and Yan Fei wrote the prefaces, and Chen Jiaying, Xiang Biao, Liu Qing, Luo Jiade and Feng Lun jointly recommended it.
