MU Philanthropy Ethics of Giving to Others & The Most Good You Can Do Discussion

I’m hoping for a thorough interrogation of the various positions these two books take with regard to the ethics of “giving to others.” For many of you, it will seem a “no-brainer” that, ethically speaking,” we should all (and always) at least consider giving to others (Singer’s position). However, as Callahan posits, the act of giving (especially by the wealthy) is necessarily an act of power and typically results in further advancing the wealth and force of the giver. What are the issues underlying these claims? In a ¾ page, single spaced Abstract, flesh out the intricacies as you see them.

3/4 page Abstract that would serve as the introductory comments for an essay on the Singer/Callahan debate.
