Peter Singer article in the NY Times

What Should a Billionaire Give – and What Should You?

Interesting article by Singer. I like his idea, of course, but I'm not sure an economist would agree it could work? Don't all the rich people make money off of their money? If they gave this much away (see the article) then they wouldn't have money to continue giving? Or, is he saying that they'd only have to do this once?...that can't be.

Some times smart people think they can fix problems just by doing a little thinking on their own without consulting other "experts" on the subject....I hope that's not the case with this one.

See what you think.
