The thesis of Bullshit Jobs is almost universally rejected by economists, FYI. There’s not much of value to obtain from the book.
- gzread 8mo agoWhy should I believe "economists" over "David Grabber"?
- wolvesechoes 8mo agoNot surprising, because thesis is not about economy. > There’s not much of value to obtain from the book. Anthropological insight has much more value than anything economists may produce on economy.
- simonask 8mo agoAs a layman, I have to say the collective credibility of economists does not inspire confidence.
- topocite 8mo agoI love economics but it is a field of study that we don't have the proper tools to properly study the subject yet. Modern economics is literally a bullshit job generating process or complex system.
- imtringued 8mo agoWhat's particularly ironic is that economists are redundant from a mainstream economics perspective. They'd be the first job to cut.
- bubblewand 8mo ago… what’s the thesis?
