Overview of The Most Good You Can Do

Peter Singer's radical challenge to traditional charity: can calculated giving save more lives? Praised by Nicholas Kristof as "powerful, provocative, and basically right," this manifesto sparked global debate on "earning to give" - turning high incomes into maximum impact where it matters most.

The Power of Calculated Compassion

What if you could save a human life for just $3,500-the cost of a modest vacation? This question sits at the heart of effective altruism, a movement transforming how we think about charity and ethical living. Unlike traditional giving that follows emotional impulses, effective altruism demands evidence before committing resources. It challenges us to move beyond "warm glow giving"-making small donations that make us feel good without considering actual impact-toward a more calculated approach that maximizes positive change. Consider the Make-A-Wish Foundation's fulfillment of Miles Scott's dream to be "Batkid" for a day, costing approximately $7,500. While heartwarming, this same amount could save at least three children's lives through malaria prevention. Effective altruists don't lack emotion-they simply prioritize doing the most good possible with limited resources. The movement has influenced tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, inspired thousands to redirect their careers, and channeled millions toward the world's most effective charities. As Warren Buffett noted when pledging 99% of his wealth: "If you're in the luckiest 1% of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99%." Effective altruism shows us precisely how to fulfill that obligation.
