具體描述
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".
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.
用戶評價
##對馬剋思的傳統勞動理論提齣瞭精彩而頗有見地的質疑。雖然在最後提齣的普遍工資明顯不能解決有關社會意義的創造問題（相反，此解決方案將創造社會意義的責任歸還給瞭個人），但對於作為人類學傢的格雷伯來說，將社會現象問題化遠比提齣某種一勞永逸的解決方案重要得多——任何方案或政策，也許就像他承認的，都會將注意力轉移至無意義的立場爭辯中。 書中雖然有大量采訪實錄，卻雋語層齣不窮。但永遠值得思考的一點是——當馬剋思提齣勞動價值理論時，價值的定義與實質是單一的，而格雷伯提醒我們：在現代社會，資本價值、社會價值、個人價值則必須互相分離，成立各自的問題域，而非被單一的、馬剋思上的價值所統攝。關鍵在於，當代社會是人性與資本的鬥爭史——我們總是要在兩者之間求個輸贏，但其實，這兩者間的永恒張力纔是我們的生存之本。
評分用大衛格雷伯的方式來驗證一下我是不是在做狗屁工作。 我在一個廣告公司裏麵做策劃師，主管一個客戶的社交媒體市場營銷年度項目。我們的公司是國際公司，我所在的隻是香港分部。而客戶也是一個國際公司，他所在的也隻是大中華分部。客戶總部與我司總部從二十年前就是閤作關係。...
評分我要敘述的是今後兩個世紀的曆史。我要描述的是將要到來的事情，是再也不可能以彆的方式到來的事情，即：虛無主義的來臨。 ——尼采，1888 這是一篇關於卡爾·貝內迪剋特·弗雷的《技術陷阱》（2019）和大衛·格雷伯的《狗屁工作》（2018）的書評。前者屬於經濟史，後者屬於人...
評分 評分##不好讀，啃瞭好久。誒我懂作者你是個無政府主義者，但是批判這批判那之後最後來個universal basic income 還真是毫無新意……如果全民溫飽就能讓大傢活得更有意義更快樂，那為什麼還有那麼多不愁溫飽卻苦大仇深的人？#欲海無邊迴頭是岸不如還是過佛係生活吧
評分##人類社會還真是圍城。世界上有六分之一的人吃不飽，還有人為瞭自己的（高薪）工作沒有意義而煩惱。
評分##從作者人類學的視角，我們的工作都可以歸為他總結的flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers, and taskmasters，bullshit jobs, 但青年馬剋思那個對勞動的變異反而更啓發人。當下教育的問題是把工作跟賺錢劃等號瞭，其實人對勞動有本能的需求，人需要通過勞動來創造，産齣更豐富的生命意義。變異後的works，成瞭jobs，一條通往奴役之路。跳著讀的，最後兩章沒看，對我們普通人來說，積極心理學那個視角能解決這個問題。讀此書啓發最大是古人類男耕女織的工作分配，已經慢慢把bullshit jobs分給女性，更體現創造力的工作由男性掌握，當下男女職場結構的開端。要是作者體會過簡中世界的公務員體係的運轉後，大概會對人類更失望吧。
