More Than Good by Effective Altruism Australia

More Than Good is a sharp, thought-provoking exploration of what it actually means to “do good” in the modern world,moving beyond feel-good intentions to interrogate how we use money, power, and decision-making to create real impact. Across conversations with philosophers, investors, policymakers, and practitioners, it tackles uncomfortable but necessary questions: Do we have a moral obligation to help others? Is capitalism inherently flawed or can it be ethical? Why are some causes like animal suffering or global health—massively neglected despite their scale?
