Recent interview I did with Peter Singer on The Life You Can Save (the book & the movement) Christian Barry and Gerhard Overland (both from the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics) described the widespread acceptance for the notion that the lives of all people everywhere are of equal fundamental worth when viewed impartially. They then wonder, during the book review in the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry, why the affluent do so little, and demand so little of their governments, while remaining confident that they are morally decent people who generally fulfil their duties to others? The reviewers agree with Singer, and say they see a conflict between the behaviours of the affluent and the claims of the affluent to being morally decent people. The reviewers also discuss other practical ways to fight poverty. https://youtube/watch?v=SwO2cPcrCDE Note this interview is part of a series, here are the others: https://youtube/playlist?list=PL-7qI6NZpO3uq5mghzMWBQUmnum54R6H4
