Book Reviews of Making A Killing: The Political Economy of Animal Rights

Book Review: The most interesting book on animal rights philosophy for sometime?
Summary: 5 Stars

'With a focus on labour, property and the life of commodities, Making a Killing contains key insights into the broad nature of domination, power and hierarchy. It explores the intersections between human and animal oppressions in relation to the exploitative dynamics of capitalism.'

Not many books like this about, it looks at some of the structural issues at play which create and enforce the role of animals as objects to be utilised for the economic growth of society.

I've only just started reading it, but at last a book that seems to pull together different aspects of discrimination and exploitation under the capitalist umbrella. Animal rights is after all a lot more than just 'animal rights'!
