Summary
One World Now seamlessly integrates major developments of the past decade into Peter Singer's classic text on the ethics of globalization, One World. Singer, often described as the world's most influential philosopher, here addresses such essential concerns as climate change, economic globalization, foreign aid, human rights, immigration, and the responsibility to protect people from genocide and crimes against humanity, whatever country they may be in. Every issue is considered from an ethical perspective.
This thoughtful and important study poses bold challenges to narrow nationalistic views and offers valuable alternatives to the state-centric approach that continues to dominate ethics and international theory. Singer argues powerfully that we cannot solve the world's problems at a national level, and tells how we should build on developments that are already transcending national differences. This is an instructive and necessary work that confronts head-on both the perils and the potentials inherent in globalization.
Critic reviews
"This is a valuable update to a book that excels at examining competing solutions for some of the world's critical economic, environmental, and political problems." (David A. Rezvani, Dartmouth College)

Ethics of a Global World
I like the way Peter Singer sets the standards of what Good should look like. Global Institutions and the approach to Ethics in a Global World. Great book, it's perfectly up to date in the present circumstances.

An interesting and important topic
He made some good points. He explained points and examples of history very clearly. Some points made I felt were a little simplistic, for example he doesn't include cost of living in his calculations about incomes. But overall I thought it was a well written and important book to consider.
