| Summary |
A collective study of the thinking behind the effective altruism movement. This movement comprises a growing global community of people who organise significant parts of their lives around the two key concepts represented in its name. Altruism is the idea that if we use a significant portion of the resources in our possession - whether money, time, or talents - with a view to helping others then we can improve the world considerably |
