When Regulation, Not Capitalism, Creates Fake Jobs

Alexis Sémanne concludes: Graeber’s work captured a genuine malaise but inverted its cause. Such jobs are not the offspring of markets but of interventionism, of governments that mistake paperwork for progress and regulation for morality. If we want work to matter again, we must let individuals freely create, exchange, and fail. Only then will labor recover its dignity and society’s vitality.
