In
this article on
Scholardarity.com I provide a synopsis of Peter Singer’s book
The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty,
in which he tries to get his readers to consider, or reconsider, the
question of what their obligations are to those who are trapped in
extreme poverty. I write the synopsis in the hope that it may convince
you to think about these issues for yourself, and also to go on to read
Singer’s book.
