Abstract
The article is a review of Peter Singer’s book (2009) "The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty" (New York: Random House, ISBN 9781400067107, 206 pages), examining his argument that individuals in affluent societies have a strong moral obligation to donate more of their income to end extreme global poverty. It outlines Singer’s ethical case for viewing poverty in absolute terms, his analysis of psychological and philosophical barriers to giving, and his proposal of a progressive, practical model of charitable donation.
