J.L. Anderson - Capitalist Pigs: Pigs, Pork, and Power in America

This excellent history begins with the pig. But it shows how the animal, converted into a commodity, became part of the interlocking social, economic and political relations of US capitalism. Far from being a niche subject, this is a book that helps us unravel the great environmental crises of our times.

My full review of this was published on the Climate and Capitalism online journal. You can read it here.
