Mostly stuff I’ve seen before but I guess that’s to be expected. One thing I’d love to see tackled is comparing investing in for-profit companies in poor countries vs donating to charity and also investing your retirement to maximize profit vs investing to target poor countries. Even just a blurb about what’s wrong with Wal-Mart criticisms or buying local movements might be nice. Just generally what to do with the money you’re not donating since that’s most of your spending anyway I think would be excellent. I’m not sure about this myself, but don’t see a lot of discussion about it.
Good point, I think Will MacAskill addresses the question of ethical consumerism fairly thoroughly in his latest book, so maybe something in that vein could be included in a future edition of this compilation.
The thing about investing in for-profits could be interesting too.
