The Modern Epidemic of Meaningless Work
Have you ever sat at your desk wondering if your job actually matters to anyone? You're not alone. When David Graeber's essay suggesting many modern jobs might be pointless went viral in 2013, it struck a nerve so deep that polling soon confirmed his suspicion: nearly 40% of workers in developed countries believe their jobs make no meaningful contribution to the world. This revelation contradicts everything we're taught about capitalism's ruthless efficiency. How could an economic system obsessed with profit be wasting resources on millions of unnecessary positions? The answer reveals profound truths about our relationship with work, meaning, and social value - and challenges fundamental assumptions across the political spectrum.
