David Graeber
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 one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer.
There are hordes 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. “Clever and charismatic” (The New Yorker), 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 and “a thought-provoking examination of our working lives” (Financial Times).

An entry point to anti-capitalist thought that is probably much easier to sell to your friends on the fence than Marx ever will be.
I had some small issues with some viewpoints of the author, but overall it's an amazing book that I can only recommend.
A great entry point to anti-capitalist ideas

Obviously the author seems to live in a fairy tale world in which milk and honey flow and he genuinely wonders why any one person living in such a world would ever let themselves down to do anything they do not enjoy. My guess is that this is due to the typical ivory tower thinking of university where people are paid high salaries working their hobbies and entertaining the next generation with their fanciful ideas under the pretence of educating them. It might be fun to study and teach anthropology but I would argue that one greatly increases their risk of finding themselves in a bullshit job after graduation if they have not spend their time in university actually learning something which they can use to provide value to the world (and this won't be anthropology).

The content was refreshing and really interesting. I will probably listen to it again in some time.
Important topic, interesting ideas

Speaking of listening, I liked how Ragland performs the overall persuasive gesture of the text. Plus he reads the footnotes (and I haven't even noticed this prior to checking the written text). But he also does something downright outrageous for an audiobook produced in the year 2018: He genders voices of interviewees! This results in two types of voices, one testosterone-laden for men and a tender timbre for women (which doesn't apply to quotations of female authors). Hard to imagine how anyone interested in the phenomenon of bullshit jobs would approve of that. But maybe I am misjudging the target audience.
