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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 634g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 241 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781399518062\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dinesh Wadiwel","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44839570735354,"sku":"9781399518062","price":81.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1701448425159_book.jpg?v=1701587670","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/animals-and-capital-9781399518062","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
