The Rise of Meaningless, Unfulfilling Jobs, and their Consequences

Renowned and radical anthropologist David Graeber joins us for a conversation about time and how the concept of time has evolved to be used in order to control people through hourly paid jobs. Now many of those jobs are not even necessary for a functioning society.
David Graeber, well known for his role in jump-starting the Occupy Wall St movement in 2011, is a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics and the author of Bullshit Jobs: A Theory.
