| Summary For the first time in history, eradicating world poverty is within our reach. Yet around the world, a billion people struggle to live each day on less than many of us pay for bottled water. In The Life You Can Save, Peter Singer uses ethical arguments, illuminating examples, and case studies of charitable giving to show that our current response to world poverty is not only insufficient but morally indefensible. The Life You Can Save teaches us to be a part of the solution, helping others as we help ourselves. 'A persuasive and inspiring work that will change the way you think about philanthropy . . . and shows us we can make a profound difference in the lives of the world's poorest.' - Bill & Melinda French Gates 'Mr. Singer is far from the world's only serious thinker on poverty, but with The Life You Can Save he becomes, instantly, its most readable and lapel-grabbing one.' - The New York Times Mr. Singer is a compelling moral voice seeking far more compassion for those who have the least.' - The Wall Street Journal |
