by Peter Singer"Controversial philosopher Singer... lays out the haves' moral obligation to the have-nots.The author's goal is to reduce, if not eliminate, extreme poverty in the world. He presents life-and-death situations that pose moral dilemmas, then leads the reader through arguments stemming logically from these dilemmas ...what is one's moral obligation to others?—he answers that to save the lives of those in extreme poverty, people should give until it hurts. However, acknowledging that a more realistic approach is needed, he proposes that for most Americans, five percent of their income is a reasonable starting point, with a sliding scale for the rich and super-rich."
