metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is on the theme of the emergence of nonsensical job as a result of the Neoliberal
  Capitalism development. American anthropologist D. Graeber, the author of the conception
  of ‘bullshit jobs’, decided to solve the scholarly problem: why the fast-moving technical development
  run to the situation, when people start to work more instead to work less. It happens
  because the new nonsensical posts and jobs are built. Graeber proposes the ‘bullshit job’s’
  classification showing that the contemporary capitalism creates the useless working place and
  pays people for doing nothing contrary to the economical law (minimization of costs and maximization of profit). The term ‘bullshit’ resulted from the word ‘bull’ which is rooted in
  French ‘bole’ (illusion, swindle). This fact shows that ‘bullshit jobs’ consist of an illusion and
  fraud: the person, doing some ‘bullshit job’, knows that his/her work is nonsensical and useless
  but he/she have to make a show (for himself and other people) that this is not the case. Graeber
  comes to the light that moral and psychical violence are rooted in contemporary labour
  relationships and it is shown the negative essence of the Neoliberal society. Graeber offers the
  initiative of the Universal Basic Income as the ‘medicine’ from ‘bullshit jobs’. Article shows
  that the governmental protection of the basic human needs operates as the Universal Basic
  Income in Socialist society. There were no ‘bullshit jobs’ in the U.S.S.R.
