The Daily Climate Sceptic

Long-Read of the Week

A non sustainability recommendation this week, but a book that can reaffirm if what you’re doing is making a difference!

 Bullshit Jobs, by David Graeber, is a provocative exploration of the rise of meaningless employment in modern economies. A renowned anthropologist, Graeber examines how countless jobs—despite being well-paid and prestigious—add little to society, leaving workers unfulfilled and questioning their purpose.

He delves into the societal and economic structures that perpetuate these roles, arguing they are not just wasteful but psychologically damaging. This sharp critique challenges conventional ideas about productivity and work, urging us to rethink what truly contributes to a meaningful and equitable economy.

"How can one even begin to speak of dignity in labor when one secretly feels one’s job should not exist?"
