BIG BLIND SPOT OF ECONOMIC SCIENCE (ABOUT DAVID GREBER'S BOOK "BULLSHIT JOBS: THEORY")
The review is devoted to the characterization of the book by the British anthropologist D. Greber. The concept of «bullshit job» is associated with the pleasure that some people get by humiliating other people (evil). It is appears to that the meaning and content of work falls out of economic analysis, therefore economists do not notice that additional employment can bring negative, not positive social utility. It is essential that the market is neutral in relation to the maximization of both positive and negative utility, so a political-economic system may arise in which most actors find themselves with others in a relationship of constant hatred and enmity. The attention of economists is drawn to the need to expand the analysis, which includes not only quantitative values (wages), but also the content of work.
