My level of moral ambition was seriously raised by reading these two books at a time when I was just getting exposed to EA:
Strangers Drowning by Larissa MacFarquhar
Famine, Affluence and Morality by Peter Singer
These were exactly the sort of thing I was looking for, thank you!
Strongly seconded. Both had a large effect on me, especially Famine, Affluence and Morality when I was a teenager.
(Also you gave me Strangers Drowning as I recall)
One of the most impactful purchases I’ve ever made! :P
