Includes bibliographical references and index.

Famine, affluence, and morality -- The Singer solution to world poverty -- What should a billionaire give and what should you.

First published in 1972, Singer's essay argued that choosing not to send life-saving money to starving people on the other side of the earth is the moral equivalent of neglecting to save drowning children because we prefer not to muddy our shoes. In this publication, his essay is accompanied by other pieces on our obligations to others, as well as a new introduction that discusses Singer's current thinking.
