garfieldThe amount of jobs that only exist to make capitalists wealthier is astounding.
Advertising, finance, insurance... I'm sure I'm forgetting huge ones
Can you even begin to imagine the amount of working hours that would just disappear with the abolition of the profit motive?
David Graeber estimates that it would be literally 50% of jobs
With the amount of time, effort, and resources capitalism forces us to waste it's amazing that we manage to produce any useful things at all
tom h@garfiald Graeber's book "the utopia of rules" is excellent. I haven't read his "bullshit jobs" book yet
Montessori Space Programme 🛸@garfiald that was such a good book and I always recommend reading his interviews because he sort of just cuts the contents of it into digestible pieces, same for the interviews he gave on "Debt"
