Famine, Affluence, And Morality by Peter Singer
Argues that individuals in affluent societies have a strong moral obligation to prevent serious suffering and death when they can do so without sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance; proximity and distance are morally irrelevant, so failure to donate substantial resources to effective relief is indefensible, and common distinctions between duty and charity must be sharply rethought to require far greater aid to those in extreme need.
