I would say _Debt_ debt is pretty grand and sweeping, whereas _Bullshit Jobs_ is a much quicker read. However, some of his insights into the "spiritual violence" of a bull shit job really, deeply, changed the way i spend my time, and as good as _Debt_ is, if I could only choose to have read one, I would choose _Bullshit Jobs_.
- Aeolos 6y agoI would agree, Bullshit Jobs has content that is understandable, if not immediately relatable, to anyone who has spent any time in the workforce. It can be a powerful read indeed. Debt is more academic, and it uproots many societal misconceptions about money and debt through the aeons. It is an excellent read for anyone interested in anthropology/sociology/economics, but it is dense and it is not an easy read. As other posters pointed out, you can read Bullshit Jobs in a couple of days, but Debt can easily take months to finish.
