I've read his essays, but not his books. Graeber does what every popular nonfiction writer does. He starts with a provocative conclusion, and cherrypicks data to support it. Bullshit Jobs is particularly bad in this aspect.
If you read his book from cover to cover and found nothing that you would count even close to a bullshit job then alright I guess. You probably wouldn’t get hired to optimize resource usage and cut down redundancies in a private enterprise anytime soon.
