I haven't completed reading the book, but my understanding so far is not that he is saying, 'capitalism makes jobs available,' but rather that most of the jobs do not involve producing/doing anything actually useful. That is an important distinction!

Since the outsourcing of manufacturing to beyond Western Empire's borders, ie USA/NATO aligned countries, we have a largely service -based economy. Speaking from direct experience, the layers of management have grown and grown, but those doing the actual work, are less respected and have no power in the institution. Look at education, the NHS in the UK for example.

I took a job at a national charity and found the role was bullshit - (publicise the services for carers who need a break, to minority communities,wo in fact, prefer to care for family members themselves) . I left after 12 weeks as I did not agree for the funds to be wasted in that way.
