should purchase assets and use that extra positive cash flow to purchase their desires.

the story of a lonely young woman’s desire to hibernate from the world in the hope of finding solutions to her existential problems.

As long as you purchase something that brings money to your pocket, it is an asset;

modern society and global capitalism has come to create bullshit jobs that deny people having meaningful preoccupations in life

bullshit jobs that are spiritually and morally corrosive.

if people are denied meaningful jobs that enable them to somehow contribute something to the world, they become mad or deeply miserable

These positions won’t be missed if they suddenly disappear in the workplace

The book is a continuation of Graeber’s other writings which explore global capitalism’s transformation into the present system where inequality and bullshit jobs prevail.
