It examines human roles and choice in the system, including the economic logic of agriculture, experimentation, and animal ownership, and analyses the marginalization of ethical action in the economic system. Animals and the Economy demonstrates that individual consumers and farmers are often left with few truly animal-friendly choices. Ethical participants in the economy must either face down an array of institutional barriers, or exit mainstream markets entirely. This book argues that these issues are not necessary elements of a market system, and evaluates a number of policy changes that could improve the lives of animals in the context of a market economy.The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,2634-6680EthicsAgricultureApplied ethicsBusiness ethicsPhilosophy and social sciencesSocial sciencesPhilosophyMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsAgricultural EthicsBusiness EthicsPhilosophy of the Social SciencesSocial PhilosophyEthics.Agriculture.Applied ethics.Business ethics.Philosophy and social sciences.Social sciencesPhilosophy.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Agricultural Ethics.Business Ethics.Philosophy of the Social Sciences.Social Philosophy.170McMullen Stevenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060890BOOK9910255346803321Animals and the Economy2516064UNINA
