A professor of bioethics at Princeton University and one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World,” Peter Singer’s numerous books on ethics include Practical Ethics, One World: Ethics and Globalization, and Animal Liberation, widely considered the founding statement of the animal rights movement. In The Life You Can Save, Singer uses ethical arguments, provocative thought experiments, and illuminating case studies to show that our current response to world poverty is not only insufficient but ethically indefensible.
