Peter Singer, a world-renowned master of practical ethics, suggests
The easiest and clearest solution to ending world poverty

The 10th anniversary edition of "Poverty Emancipation," a bold proposal from Peter Singer, a world-renowned master of practical ethics, is being published by 21st Century Books.
This book is a masterpiece by Professor Singer, who changed the standards of bioethics around the world with 『Animal Liberation』 and 『The Table of Death』. It is evaluated to have boldly broken down the walls of existing national borders and customs and ignited the spark of a practical poverty eradication movement by emphasizing the ethical responsibility of individuals and presenting a revolutionary approach to the problem of global inequality.
The book faced strong opposition immediately after its publication, saying that it held the rich to too high an ethical standard and made them seem as if they did not care about world hunger. However, it was launched with the intention of encouraging Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to donate more than half of their wealth to society.
It became the catalyst for the birth of the 'The Giving Pledge' campaign, and readers who read the book voluntarily founded the The Life You Can Save Foundation, the original title of the book, and donated its assets to operate it, bringing about great changes. It has become one of the representative books on practical ethics today.

Translated into 26 languages, it has become a moral standard for readers around the world.
A comprehensively revised edition commemorating the 10th anniversary of the leading book in practical ethics!

Peter Singer is Professor Emeritus of Bioethics at Princeton University and has been selected by journalists as "the world's most influential living philosopher."
In a world where 18 million people, twice the population of Seoul, die from poverty and hunger every year, Singer has argued that each of us can and should work to alleviate the suffering caused by poverty, not just in our own communities or countries, but everywhere around the world.
To that end, the author wrote the first edition of "Freeing Poverty," a book that shows why we should care about and help those living in extreme poverty around the world, and how easy it is to improve and save lives by giving effectively.

This 10th anniversary edition features many new chapters, reflecting recent developments and new cases that have arisen in the past decade since its publication. It also includes a special preface from the author addressed to Korean readers.
In the preface to the 10th anniversary edition, the author notes that while dramatic progress has been made in reducing extreme poverty worldwide in the decade since the first edition of this book was published, millions of people still live on less than $1.90 a day, and much work remains to be done.

Through various perspectives and colorful questions and answers on the issue of poverty,
A modern philosophy book that offers in-depth reflection on the question, "What is morality?"

'There is a child in front of me who can be saved with just a little effort.
This book begins with the question, "What should we do?" and is reminiscent of a philosophy class conducted through questions and answers.
"What if your dollar, your meal could save someone's life? With minimal sacrifice, you can greatly improve the lives of others." This powerful message offers readers hope that small individual actions can change the world. It also provides a reading experience that encourages deep reflection on human morality, while simultaneously encouraging them to explore concrete, practical solutions to address poverty.
From the reality of poverty to what we can do, readers can naturally understand the problem of poverty through systematically organized content.
It can broaden your awareness.
I recommend that you read the book, reflect on your spending habits, and think about effective ways to donate.
This book is not simply a theoretical book, but a guide to practical change that will spread a new culture of giving in our society.
