Books by William MacAskill

William MacAskill is a philosopher and associate professor at the University of Oxford, where he holds a position at the Global Priorities Institute. He co-founded the effective altruism movement and the organizations 80,000 Hours and Giving What We Can. His previous book, Doing Good Better (2015), made the case for evidence-based charitable giving.

He is a leading voice in the debate over how to reason about future generations and existential risk.
