Delusional work. A treatise on the spread of senseless work

Why do more and more people think they are busy with meaningless work? In the spring of 2013, Anthropologist David Greber, one of the "anti -paints" of the OcCupy Wall Street movement, asked this question in a provocative essay called "On the phenomenon of delusional work". It has become viral. Seven years later, people around the world continue to discuss the answer to this question.
Greber wrote a book in which he explores one of the most annoying and deep moral problems of modern society - the transformation of labor into a tedious, boring and non -desired nonsense. How many people believe that their work does not bring any benefit? Why do employers believe that you can pay less for a profession for a profession, and more for useless work? Why, as a result of technological progress, we work no less, but more and more? Where is more useless work - in the state or in the private sector? And how can you stop the economical"s indulgation?
Greber shows what are the historical, social and political reasons for the spread of delusional work. From feudalism to managerial culture, from the source of the bureaucracy to the development of the quarter sector, from Thomas Carlyle to John Keynes and Andre Highlander - Rabber’s study shows how our attitude to work arose and how to change it. This book is for everyone who wants to believe that labor should make sense
