Doing Good Better

A clear and thought‑provoking introduction to the philosophy of effective altruism, this book asks a simple but powerful question: how can we do the most good? Drawing on philosophy, economics, and evidence-based research, William MacAskill argues that good intentions are not enough—we should use reason and data to guide our charitable giving, career choices, and activism. He explores issues such as global poverty, animal welfare, and existential risk, showing how careful analysis can dramatically increase our positive impact. MacAskill, a philosopher and co‑founder of the effective altruism movement, writes in an accessible and practical style. Ideal for readers interested in ethics, social change, and making a meaningful difference in the world.
