- More about Animals and Capital
Capitalist animal agriculture has exploited animals for labor time and enlarged human food supplies, leading to the expansion of animal-sourced foods and antagonistic relations between humans and machines. Dinesh Joseph Wadiwel argues that factory farms and industrial fisheries are a combination of hierarchical anthropocentrism and capitalism.

Capitalist animal agriculture emerged in the 20th century with a dual objective: to ruthlessly exploit animals for their labor time and to expand human food supplies. The consequences of this process are evident. Animal-sourced foods have experienced exponential growth, while hundreds of billions of animals engage in brutal, antagonistic relations with humans and machines, shaped by domination and resistance. Drawing on Karl Marx's value theory, Dinesh Joseph Wadiwel contends that factory farms and industrial fisheries are not merely instances of unchecked human supremacism but a combination of both. In his book Animals and Capital, Wadiwel delves into the contemporary interplay between hierarchical anthropocentrism and capitalism.
