Graeber in his fun attempts to categorize bulls--- jobs into Goons,
Flunkies, Box Tickers, Duct Tapers, and Taskmasters, which

It's funny, albeit painful, that we've gotten work so wrong and
spend so much time at it."--Bloomberg.com

Solnit
"A master of opening up thought and stimulating debate."--Slate
"Graeber is an American anthropologist with a winning combination
of talents: he's a startlingly original thinker...able to convey

bureaucracy, precisely so we can actually get down to openly and
creatively arguing about our collective future."--NPR

Doctorow
