In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays by Bertrand Russell The Right to Be Lazy by Paul Lafargue "Never work" -- Guy Debord "Bullshit Jobs (2018) by anthropologist David Graeber argues the existence and societal harm of meaningless jobs. He contends that over half of societal work is pointless, which becomes psychologically destructive when paired with a work ethic that associates work with self-worth. Graeber describes five types of meaningless jobs, in which workers pretend their role is not as pointless or harmful as they know it to be: flunkies, goons, duct tapers, box tickers, and taskmasters. He argues that the association of labor with virtuous suffering is recent in human history, and proposes universal basic income as a potential solution."--Sholem Stein |
