It presents much of the intellectual progress of the effective altruism movement, a group dedicated to discovering and carrying out the most effective philanthropic interventions.It features a range of problems that we ask when considering how to have an impact, and many that we don't think to ask at all, across areas such as charity evaluation, career choice and cause selection.Its contributors include Professors Peter Singer and William MacAskill, who provide the introduction, and the leaders of a wide range of organisations, who discuss how they seek to put this movement's ideas into practice.
