Summary of Bullshit Jobs: A Theory

Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber: Conversation Starters

Bullshit jobs are spiritually and morally corrosive and make people extremely unhappy. If people are denied meaningful jobs that enable them to somehow contribute something to the world, they become mad or deeply miserable. They hold jobs that have no real usefulness except to justify careers. These jobs won’t be missed if they suddenly disappear in the workplace. How do you deal with bullshit jobs? How have a modern society and global capitalism come to create bullshit jobs?

Bullshit Jobs is an Amazon bestseller. It is the latest book of activist author David Graeber, also known for The Democracy Project which tells the story of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

A Brief Look Inside:

EVERY GOOD BOOK CONTAINS A WORLD FAR DEEPER

than the surface of its pages. The characters and their world come alive,

and the characters and its world still live on.

Conversation Starters is peppered with questions designed to

bring us beneath the surface of the page

and invite us into the world that lives on.

These questions can be used to create hours of conversation:

• Foster a deeper understanding of the book

• Promote an atmosphere of discussion for groups

• Assist in the study of the book, either individually or corporately

• Explore unseen realms of the book as never seen before
