Peter Singer: Philanthropy and Effective Altruism

Forty years ago, moral philosopher Peter Singer changed our world with his groundbreaking book, "Animal Liberation" – a bold argument that helped launch the animal rights movement. Since then, Singer has become the world’s most widely read philosopher. He has confronted difficult issues such as euthanasia, abortion, and the relationship between world poverty and affluence. In his latest book, "The Most Good You Can Do," Singer takes his argument for “effective altruism” into new domains. In a world of ever-increasing disparities of wealth and power, Singer’s ideas on how we can all exercise philanthropy have never been more pertinent.
