On Bullshit Jobs


Listen Later

Is modern work actually productive, or just an end in itself? 'The most influential anthropologist in the world', David Graeber, explores how ‘meaningless’ jobs have become so widespread, and what we can do about it.

In doing so, he looks at how we value work, and how, rather than being productive, work has become an end in itself; the way such work maintains the current broken system of finance capital; and, finally, how we can get out of it.

This event was recorded live at The RSA on Thursday 17th May 2018. Discover more about this event here: https://www.thersa.org/events/2018/05/on-bullsht-jobs
