The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty is a 2009 book by Australian philosopher Peter Singer, in which the author argues that citizens of affluent nations are behaving immorally if they do not act to end the poverty they know to exist in developing nations. The book is focused on giving to charity, and discusses philosophical considerations, describes practical and psychological obstacles to giving, and lists available resources for prospective donors (e.g. charity evaluators). Singer concludes the book by proposing a minimum ethical standard of giving.

  • Det liv du kan rädda: agera nu och stoppa fattigdomen (originaltitel: The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty) är en bok av den australiske filosofen Peter Singer. Boken som utkom 2009 argumenterar för att människor i den rika delen av världen bör ta ett större ansvar för att minska fattigdomen i andra länder. Singer beskriver praktiska och psykologiska hinder med att ge pengar samt ger ett konkret förslag på hur lite man som minimum bör ge bort. (sv)

  • The Life You Can Save ist ein Sachbuch des australischen Moralphilosophen Peter Singer (* 1946) aus dem Jahr 2009. Der Autor entfaltet darin die These, dass Bewohner von Industrienationen sich moralisch falsch verhalten, wenn sie nicht mit ihren Möglichkeiten dazu beitragen, bestehende Armut und Leid in den Entwicklungsländern zu beenden. Das Buch diskutiert daneben vor allem die Frage, wie sich Geld möglichst effektiv spenden lässt. Im Anschluss an die Veröffentlichung des Buchs entstand 2013 eine gleichnamige Wohltätigkeitsorganisation. Sie betreibt vornehmlich Aufklärungsarbeit im Sinne des effektiven Altruismus, einer sozialen Bewegung, die von den in The Life You Can Save und früheren Publikationen Singers veröffentlichten Argumenten entscheidend angeregt wurde.
