Description
Why do so many people spend their working lives in jobs they believe serve no meaningful purpose? This provocative examination of modern labor explores the rise of pointless or psychologically harmful work, the social forces that sustain it, and the toll it takes on individuals and communities. Drawing on interviews, cultural analysis, and economic critique, the book challenges conventional ideas about productivity, value, and the moral worth of work. Witty, accessible, and deeply thought-provoking, it offers a radical rethinking of how society organizes labor—and what a more fulfilling future might look like.
