Graeber was a successful bullshit artist. Sure, he doesn't have a bullshit job according to his vague and peculiar definition. But this was a man who wrote a door stopper of a book on Debt which blitley conflates credit with benevolence.

I don’t think winning prizes that academics themselves create is proof that the academic jobs are valuable. Of course we could say the same thing about Tyler.
Graeber's work might be opinionated but his evidence is stronger than Cowen's flippant comeback.
>> At that point we’ll see who really has the bullshit job.
This almost reads as Cowen is claiming that Graeber's job is bullshit.
Graeber is a prize winning and successful writer and academic.
