Peter Singer, the philospher and author of “Animal Liberation,” widely considered to be one of the foundational works of the animal rights movement, here turns his attention to the question of global poverty, and how it might be alleviated. His seven-point plan endorses a mix of personal philanthropy, local activism, and political awareness. Singer argues that there are no excuses for citizens not to give, and makes the possibilities of aid vivid by showing how assistance has already saved the lives of countlss people.
Peter Singer takes on the ethical responsibility individuals have in reducing world poverty in THE LIFE YOU CAN SAVE. Philosopher Singer has been credited with sparking the animal liberation movement and is known for his controversial stands on abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia. This book is not an abstract treatise on ethics nor is it an antipoverty policy proposal based on economics or on theories of development; rather it outlines a seven-point plan that incorporates how to decide the amount and direction of one’s charitable giving, activism, and political awareness that continues Singer’s commitment to bring considered ethics into contemporary life.
