Summary: Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min

Bullshit Jobs Summary. David Graeber's Book. Meaningful job. Meaningful work. The term “bullshit job” made a real impact when it first appeared, and for good reason: More and more people today have pointless jobs. They get paid to do nothing, they’re totally bored, they have to figure out how to deal with incompetent or narcissistic bosses, they drown in paperwork, and they have mindless tasks to perform. Quite frankly, this work shouldn’t exist at all. These so-called “jobs” aren’t worth it — they can even be dangerous. Any rational CEO would eliminate them altogether. So how do you explain their proliferation? Why does everyone bury their heads in the sand and just treat it as a given? Why does voluntary slavery exist, and why is there such widespread resentment? Are you a victim of the global conspiracy? This book will open your eyes to what’s really going on.Why listen to this summary:Save time.Understand the key concepts.Notice: This is a Be Fearless Summary of David Graeber's book.

Bullshit Jobs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 758min

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber, read by Christopher Ragland. Be honest: if your job didn't exist, would anybody miss it? Have you ever wondered why not? Up to 40% of us secretly believe our jobs probably aren't necessary. In other words: they are bullshit jobs. This audiobook shows why, and what we can do about it.In the early 20th century, people prophesied that technology would see us all working 15-hour weeks and driving flying cars. Instead, something curious happened. Not only have the flying cars not materialised, but average working hours have increased rather than decreased. And now, across the developed world, three-quarters of all jobs are in services, finance or admin: jobs that don't seem to contribute anything to society. In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber explores how this phenomenon - one more associated with the Soviet Union, but which capitalism was supposed to eliminate - has happened. In doing so, he looks at how, rather than producing anything, 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 audiobook is for anyone whose heart has sunk at the sight of a whiteboard, who believes 'workshops' should only be for making things, or who just suspects that there might be a better way to run our world. ungekürzt.

Debt: The First 5,000 Years, Updated and Expanded

The classic work on debt, now is a special tenth anniversary edition with a new introduction by Thomas PikettyBefore there was money, there was debt. Every economics textbook says the same thing: Money was invented to replace onerous and complicated barter systems to relieve ancient people from having to haul their goods to market. The problem with this version of history? There s not a shred of evidence to support it.Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that for more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like guilt, sin, and redemption ) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it.Debt: The First 5,000 Years is a fascinating chronicle of this little known history as well as how it has defined human history. It shows how debt has defined our human past, and what that means for our economic future.

Debt

The groundbreaking international best-seller that turns everything you think about money, debt, and society on its head from the brilliant, deeply original political thinker David Graeber (Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explain Things to Me)Before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors which lives on in full force to this day.So says anthropologist David Graeber in a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Renaissance Italy to Imperial China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like guilt, sin, and redemption ) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today.

To the Best of Our Knowledge, The Other Money, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min

In this hour, the end of money. Really? Are we really on the verge of a coming cashless society?Next, people do without money in many different ways – from simple bartering to using bitcoin on-line. In 2005, a group of parents in Madison did it by creating a babysitting coop. It’s simple. Colored popsicle sticks are traded per hour of babysitting. All families start with a limited number of sticks. So, once you’re out of popsicle sticks, you have to babysit to get more. Families are added to the group and problems are discussed at potlucks every 4 months. And it’s all organized on-line. Since 2005, the group has traded some 1,250 hours of babysitting worth more than 15,000 dollars.Then, Ithaca Hours is a local currency from Ithaca, New York, that is the oldest and largest alternative currency in the US. Founded in 1991, by Paul Glover, Ithaca Hours has an estimated circulation of several million dollars and has spawned about 80 imitators around the country.After that, “Before there was money, there was debt” - boldly states David Graeber in his book Debt: The First 5,000 Years. Now, Graeber brings a lot to the table. He’s considered one of the world’s leading anarchists. He’s a professor of Anthropologyat Goldsmiths, University of London. And he’s one of the founders of that little thing called Occupy Wall Street. Greaber says all those experiences help him understand the role of debt in our lives.Finally, imagine living an entire year without money. And I mean no money. No cash. No credit cards. Nothing. Where do you live? What do you eat? How do you wash? Mark Boyle did it. And he found out it wasn’t so bad after all. In fact, he loved it. He tells his heart-warming, and funny, story in the book, The Moneyless Man. Steve Paulson spoke with Boyle about the transition from a life with money to one without it.
