I contributed to David Graeber's new Bullshit Jobs book. And this week published: "Dissecting two academic trolls’ review of 'Bullshit Jobs: A Theory'": https://medium.com/@nouri.pennywhistle/dissecting-two-academic-trolls-review-of-bullshit-jobs-a-theory-e2782559becb https://medium.com/@nouri.pennywhistle/dissecting-two-academ... The OP asks a key question: "In an efficient market, why would profit-focused companies employ a bunch of people who by their own admission aren’t doing anything valuable?" Anyone wondering this should skim the book, which squarely addresses this concern: "This is always represented as exactly what would never happen under capitalism. The last thing a private firm, competing with other private firms, would do is to hire people it doesn’t actually need. If anything, the usual complaint about capitalism is that it’s too efficient, with private workplaces endlessly hounding employees with constant speed-ups, quotas, and surveillance." Don't know if I should spoil the explanations. :)
