David Graeber touched on many of these issues in his final two books, namely 'Bullshit Jobs' and 'The Dawn of Everything', i.e., many jobs undertaken by Uni educated folks, specifically within Humanities/Social Sciences are now just jobs for the boys/girls - the growth in the NGO sector is a classic example of this or diversity officers in Councils and Businesses, obviously, then you have HR groupies and the rest. Eventually, there are more middle class useless jobs than little Indians actually doing the work and then many of these same folks get elected to positions within councils, local authorities and Parliament - the Welsh Assembly is a classic example of this as is the Scottish Assembly.
