The Life You Can Save
How to Do Your Part to End World Poverty: 10th Anniversary ed. Edition
by:
Peter Singer
Summary:
The book argues for the moral imperative of affluent individuals to donate a portion of their income to alleviate global poverty, presenting evidence and ethical reasoning to support this claim. It also provides practical guidance on how to effectively contribute to this cause, including recommendations for the most efficient charities and organizations to support.
Key points:
1. Moral Duty to Aid: Singer believes rich people must help the extremely poor, viewing giving as a moral duty, not just charity. If we can stop harm without losing something equally important, we should.
